VASELINE, FAMILY TOILET, Two sizes, 6d. and 9d. per tablet.
VASELINE TAR, Two sizes, 6d. and 9d. per tablet.

The " Vaseline" Tar Soap is the pleasantest and most effective combination of Tar for all Skin Diseases and Irritations,
and a delightful Toilei article. The only genuine Tar Soap made.

The use of Lard, &c, as a basis for all ointments is now discarded by Medical Men, and " Vaseline" only is used for the
purpose. " Vaseline," as is well known, possesses the most powerful inherent healing properties, is the best Emollient knowi
to science, and will never become rancid : it is therefore the natural and only true basis for Soaps.

"On the whole this in a good hook. There is the ring of common sense in the
remarks about the employment of a wet nurse, about the proper food for a nursing
mother, about the tonic effect of a bath, about the perambulator versus the nurse'*
arms, and, on many other subjects concerning: which the critic might say, 'surely
this is obvious,' but which experience teaches us are exactly the things needed to be
insisted upon with the rich a« well as the poor. The chapter on the subject of Cow's
Milk is excellent. Dr. Keating lias well stated, the difficulties and dangers Which
beset the subject. On the question of condensed milk, as on others, lie speaks
evidently from the result of personal knowledge."— Lancet.

"Gruve old etions exist against the mothers' books in ordinary circulation, and
hence we hail with genuine pleasure the appearance of a volume which, in a snialL
compass, includes all that a woman need know concerning the management, treat-
ment, and feeding of infants. But Dr. Keating has accomplished even more than
this, for many a young practitioner will find in this unpretending little handbook a.

TO EVERT CHEMrST,

Sia, — The large and increasing demand for vEscnlap, while proof or its superiority and the favour in which it is held by the Medical Profession,
is, in the estimation of the Proprietors, largely due to the support which has re<>n evprvvvlnre accorded to it liy the Chemists.

In recognition of this encouragement, my Directors have determined to tult'vaie jour custom to the utmost of their ability, and to confine tho
sale of the Water as much as possible to the proper trade channels— namely, the Chemists.

I am instructed, Iherefore, to inform you that permission havine been obtained to print and circulate a PAMPHLET on " The Nature and
Uses of JEsculap" copies of the same, together with 1.000 CIRCULARS (a good, large, useful coi.nter bill) wit.h your name printed at foot, will
be supplied to you on application, free o' charge, together with TJiANSf ABENCIES end SHOW CARDS, and forwarded to you direct
or through any Wholesale House, for enclosure.

At foot I subjoin prices at which .Usculap can be obtained d:rect. or from any of the Wholesale Druggists and Dealers.

Awaiting the favour of your reply, I remain, vour obedient Servant, E. SAMSON, Manager.
N.B. — I shall be glad to receive any suggestions f rum you irith a view io promitina the sal^ of .Esculap in your neighbourhood to our mutual advantage.

Copy of a Letter received bij the Consignees from Edmund St urge, Esq., London, England.
Whereas the great popularity which has been attained by the Montserrat Lime Fruit Juice grown on
the estates of the Montserrat Company in the West Indies, of winch Evans, Sons & Company, Liverpool,
are the Sole Consignees, has led unprincipled persons to endeavour to use the name of oar family in
connection with other and inferior Lime or Lemon Juice which they sell, I think it necessary to state
that the whole of the raw Lime Fruit Juice from the estates which were established by me, and are now
carried on by the Montserrat Company, is, and has been for the last twelve years, consigned to Evans,
Sons & Co., of Liverpool.

In consequence of increasing inquiries from the Colonies tor my Eau de Cologne, the only genuine, I
beg to submit my Price Current.

At the same time I beg to call special attention to the following facsimile of my Trade Mark, for the
protection of which I have instituted thirteen suits in the High Court of Chancery, all of which have been
decided in my favour.

All similar Labels being more or less imitations of the same, I shall proceed as before against all persona
selling or exposing for sale any such imitations.

I only prepare one quality of Eau de Cologne. This quality never varies in the slightest degree, and there
has not been the smallest change in the manufacture since the year 1709, when it was invented by my ancestor.

Orders equal to at least 12 dozen short bottles will be promptly executed at 12s. 6d. per dozen, against my
bill drawn at three months from the date of invoice, delivered free on board the export ship, at Rotterdam,
Antwerp, Hamburg, or Bremen, no charge being made for the case and packing, but insurance charged extra.
7^ per cent, discount is allowed for orders equal to at least 100 dozen, but on no smaller quantities.

I may add that, as I do not draw on the Colonies, all Orders must be accompanied by a credit on some
London House, or permission to draw on same at three months.

The Goods can also be shipped in transit through London at a very small additional expense, full particulars
of which may be obtained of my Sole Agents for Great Britain and Ireland : —

A HIGH-CLASS PERFUMED HYGIENIC TOILET SOAP.

Strongly recommended by the Medical Profusion for its beneficial effects on the Skin, and for Preventing the Transmission of Cutaneous Diseases.

DR. HASSALL'S REPORT ON THE HYGIENIC SOAP of MESSRS. PATON & CHARLES.

"We have very carefully analysed famples of the Hygienic Soap manufactured by Messrs. Paton & Charles, and have also
" subject»d them to certain practical testa with a view to determine their antiseptic action ; we find, that when as little as
" one part of the soap is added to 10,000 parts of putreseible organic liquids, an efficient antiseptic action is exercised,
" no decomposition ensuing for a period of several weeks. The agent used is a very energetic antifepoic. This soap
" is admirably adapted for general as well as for medical use, being very well mc.de, non-irritating, and of an
"agreeable aromatic odour. It will not only disinfect the skin in ca?es of infectious diseases, but the suds
" will tend to purify any sewer or house-drain inti which they are thrown. This soap is a valuable

PARRISH'S CHEMICAL FOOD,

As prepared by the late Me. Edward Parrish.

This Tonic has stood the test of time, having been more generally prescribed for the last 20
years than any other preparation of the kind. It is most peculiarly suited for delicate children,
not only from its bone-forming properties and agreeable taste, but also from the fact of its containing
no poisonous ingredient, which might interfere with its prolonged administration.

To distinguish, this preparation orders should be written

" Squire's Chemical Food."

Chemist who kDows of a severe case in his neighbourhood will
be conferring a favour on the propiietor if he will write for a

fail to lead to a demand for the remedy, which only requires
an introduction into a neighbourhood where Whooping Cougb

"Desideratum" Mixin

Admirably adapted for mixing all kinds of powders, heavy or ligbfc, in the
shortest possible time, thereby superseding to a great extent the use of the
Pestle and Mortar, supplying a long-felt want amongst Chemists and
Druggists, Grocers, Confectioners, Drysalters, Colour Merchants, and Manu-
facturers, and are capable of mixing either large or small quantities more
quickly than by any other method. Tbey can be worked either with or with-
out the cover, are easily cleaned, and are, without doubt, the best and
cheapest Mixing Machines ever invented ; indeed, it would scarcely be
thought possible that the articles could be so thoroughly blended in such an

incredibly short time.

SCHIEFFELIN'S

Are made of the best materials ; perfectly protected ; entirely and quickly soluble ;
coated while soft; not subjected to the injurious effects of heat iu the process of
manufacture. The mass is worked to the highest possible degree of uniform
intermixture, and subdivided with scrupulous exactness. The coating is an inert,
tasteless, and odourless compound, which is so transparent, colourless, and thin, that the distinctive colour of each pill
is revealed through the coat. No sub-coating is used. The solubility of the coating is not impaired by age. All the
officinal pills, as well as any others ordered by the Medical Profession, can be furnished in this form. They can be
implicitly relied upon in every respect. The coating, while
thoroughly protecting the pill, will not be found to in any
way interfere with the action of the drug, and those who
have found sugar or chalk-coated pills objectionable, owing

to the liability of the coating becoming insoluble by age, will find our coating to dissolve as readily
after many years as when first prepared. It, moreover, does not form a hard tough shell, as is the
case with the ordinary gelatine coating. We claim and believe our Coated Pills to be nearer erfection
than any similar goods that have been offered, and guarantee the pills to be as quickly } ective as
any uncoated pills that can be made.

SOMETHING ABOUT FILLS."

Dear Sir, — An experience of more than a quarter of a century
s served to convince us that Sugar is the only material with

ich to coat a pill properly. We believe, and are confirmed in
.3 belief by many facts brought to our notice, that failures in
peeted results are due to the use of gelatine-coated pills and
gar-coated pills not properly prepared. We have devised a
ithod by which our pills aie coated with sugar while the pill is in

oft condition, with no direct application of heat and with no
coatinrj.

Many so-called sugar-coated pills are coated with combinations
Terra-Alba, Chalk, or Magnesia, and a sub-coating of shellac to
vent staining. Our pills are coated with a quickly soluble

itiug of sugar only.

Some of the reasons for preferring sugar as a coating over gela-
e are : —

First : Sugar is more soluble than gelatine or glue.
Second : With our cold process no direct application of heat is
d. To coat a pill with gelatine, it must be dipped into a hot
ution at a heat necessary to keep the gelatine fluid.
Third: Gelatine is incompatible with certain foods, also fruits
wines containing Tannin, by which it is converted into a condi-
the basis of leather. Sugar is not incompatible with any foo l
condition of the system.

Fourth : Gelatine becomes exceedingly hard in time : sugar, on
the contrary, attracts moisture, being hygroscopic. Pills coated
with sugar get softer by age, rather than harder.

Fifth : Sugar dissolves evenly from the surface of the pill. A
gelatine-coated pill lies in the stomach until the coating bursts.
Throw a sugar-coated pill into cold water and see how soon the
coating dissolves ; try this with a gelatine-coated pill, giving it the
advantage of hot water : see how long it takes the coating to swell
and burst.

A selected list of W.u. R. Warmer & Co.'s Soluble Sugar-
Coated Pills is now in stock with many of the leading druggists,
as physicians frequently prescribe or order them, thus ensuring
freedom from disappointment in effects desired.

Respectfully yours,
WM. R. WARNER & Co., Chemists.

N.B.— The following letter has been received from a prominent
Physician : —

Dear Sirs, — "An ill-founded prejudice led me to use gelatine-
coated pills ; but I am free to acknowledge, as the result of ex-
perience, the more read}' solubility of sugar-coated pills aspreparel
by you."

surface of indiarubber ever exposed to the liquid of any Stopper out. The
Stoppers are inserted without trouble. No extra cost for Bottles. The Stoppers
are cheap, very durable, and particularly clean. The Filling Machine is not
expensive, and quick in action. Any Filling Machine, however, will do. The
Patentee guarantees the Stoppers perfect gasholders, therefore no leakage >s
possible. Tn at Bottles may be opened, with or without an opener, by the
prepare of tne finger.

NOTICE TO THE TRADE.

It having come to my knowledge that certain parties conversant with thft
great and acknowledged superiority of my Patent Stopper, have so re-modelled
theirs so as to constitute a clear case of infringement upon my rights, I wish it
to be known that I intend to take such steps against the said parties as mayftpfi**
desirable, should this notice not be effectual.

FIFTEEN GOOD REASONS WHY ALL CHEMISTS SHOULD JOIN THE

MINERAL

SSOCIATION,

45 Gifford Street, LONDON, N., and Montpelier Gardens, HARROGATE.

1. — Because, taking into consideration the superior quality and the style in which the Waters are got up, they are cheaper than any
supplied by other Manufacturers.

2. — Because none but Chemists {Shareholders) can purchase the Wa'ers direct; consequently, when a Chemist has created a sale, he
cannot be undersold bit Growers ; whereas, if he purchase from other manufacture' s lie will g»ni rally perceive that if he succeed in establishing
a ready sale tor any brand, the same Waters will so<ja be found to be offered by Grocers, Wii.e Merchants, Sic, in his locality, at a lower
price than that at which he can afford to sell.

3. — Bfcause the Waters are acknowledged to be of the first and purest quality, being carefully filtered, and passed through silver,
lined machinery, thereby preventing the possibility of any contamination whatever with injurious metals.

4. — Because, in addition to the ordinary Waters, Soda, Potash, and Lithia Waters can be obtained of B.P. strength, and every
Chemist should stock some of these, as when Waters are ordered to be taken medicinally. B.P. preparations should always be supplied.

N.B.— At. the Food Exhibition, Agricultural Ball, 1881, the Association's B.P. Waters obtained the only Prize Medal, and at Brad-
ford Exhibition, 18S2, the Highest Meual was awarded.

5. — Eec uise goods are invariably despatched on same day as order received, carefully and well packed in strorg bin cases, therehy
preventing b eakage in transit. Town goods are delivered by the Lonoon Parcels Delivery Company, Limited, and empties collected free.

6. — Because the best Syphons, with tops manufactured from the purest tin, are used; also first-class ordinary bottles, carefully
wired and labelled, and corked with superior corks.

7. — Bpcause the labels state the exact strength of the Waters— an Essential for Chemists' Trade

8 —Because every Chemist who joins i3 assisting in making the Association Waters famous, and is consequently helping his brother
Chemist, while advancing his own interests.

f.— Because Chemists will learn what great power they possess when combined, and how well they stand in competition with other
tradesmen, provided only they are loyal to each others' interests.

10. — Becauseabout 650 Chemists have joined, and proved that they derive considerable benefit from combination.

11. — Because " yESCU LAP" can be purchased ir. original packages by the Shareholders on very advantageous terms. CARRIAGE
PAID to any part of the Kingdom.

12. — Because Seltzogenes of first quality or., when required, be obtained for members at a libera! discount.

13. — Because about 650 Chemists ask you to join with them.

11. — Because the larger the combination, the larger the dividends.

15 - Bee tuse nil WaTUEAL MINERAL WATERS can now be purchased through the Association at cheaper rates than
en he procured elsewhere.

IPIROSIPIECTITS-

The oBiect of the Planters who have formed this Association,
i,~ to establish a business for the direct supply of Tea from the-
Plantations of the Kangra Valley to the public.

b'o great, a success has attended the eftorts of the promoters
of the Association that it has become necessary that one of the
Planters should reside in England to manage its affairs.

The distinctive feature of the business of this Association is
that the Tea is delivered to consumers in the original One Pound
tin-foil lined parcels in which it is packed in the Valley, and ic
i> guaranteed to be absolutely pure.

The Association hopes that it may, without presumption,
safely recommend this Tea to the public, believing that it will
continue to give the greatest satisfaction.

Tide Allen's Indian Mail, Feb. 28, 1883 :— " * * * We can speak
from actual knowledge of the excellence of the Teas of the 'Kangra
Valley Indian Tea Growers' Association,' and as in advertising them we are
also benefiting those who take advantage of their enterprise, we append
their modest prospectus, which promises no more than they are well able to
perform.''

These Teas, retailing respectively at 4/, 3/, and 2/6, can be
purchased iu any quantity, either direct from the Store, 7 New
Coventry Street, or from Messrs. Barclay & Sons, 95 Farringdon
Street, Agents to the Association.

Special Terms granted to all Chemists and Druggists, to
whom the Teas, on account of their absolute purity, are
particularly recommended.

NESTLE'S MILK FOOD is prepared at Vevey, Switzerland, from the pure milk of Alpine-
fed cows, the finest wheaten flour and sugar, combined in exact proportions to imitate closely the natural
food for infants. It is thoroughly cooked, and reduced to a fine powder, perfectly soluble in water,
requires only the simple addition of water to prepare it for use — in this respect having the advantage over
all other foods.

NESTLE'S MILK FOOD is highly recommended by the best medical authorities in all parts
of the globe as a perfect diet. Nestle's is the original and genuine Milk Food
or Powder. The extensive demand for this Food, its well-known superiority and
(universal recognition by the medical profession, has produced the inevitable
imitations. The Trade and the Public are hereby cautioned. Nestle's Milk Food
has stood the test of years. Take no other under any pretence whatever.

NESTLE'S MILK FOOD is put up in Tins, packed in lined cases
when ordered specially for the Export Trade. Is highly concentrated, and in a
perfectly dry state. Will keep good in any climate.
For exportation the Food is a very desirable article, and is much sought after among people of
all nationalities in all parts of the globe. Its advantage as an article for export consists in

Its uniform quality. Its purity. The simplicity of its preparation for use.

Its freshness in warm climates, where cow's milk soon becomes tainted.

Foreign and Colonial Importers should obtain their supplies through any Wholesale Firm in Great
Britain, or Shipping Agent, thus ensuring fresh stock and lowest prices.

C-A.TJTTIOIN". — Circumstances which have come to the knowledge of Andreas Saxlehner, Buda Pest, Sole Proprietor of the Hunyadi JAnoi
Spring, compel him to warn the British Public against SPURIOUS IMITATIONS. To secure genuineness, purchasers should see that every bottle haa
on the label t^e name of " THE APOLLINARIS COMPANY (LIMITED), London."

Conroy's Malt Coffee has received the following Certificates amongst many others.

" Undoubtedly a nourishing and health pro-
ducing article of diet." — Edward Davies,
F.C.S., F.I.C.. Ac, Liverpool.

'• Most beneficial in cases of atonic indi-
gestion."— E. Adam, Af.R.C.S., England.

"Genuine Coffee gives me indigestion. Your
Malt Coffee is entirely free from this obiec-
ti n. ' — 5. Whttak»r, Waterfoot, near Manchester.

" Dyspeptics who could never take the ordi-
narv coffee or date coffee can take the Malt
Coffee, and with the most beneficial effects." —
Dr. Lloyd, Bangor.

" I have frequently recommended your Malt
Ctffeein cases of weak digestion, invariably
with satisfactory results." — W.Bill. Senior Sur-
geon to the Convalescent Institutu)n,New Brighton,

" A mn?t excellent combination." — A. W,
Postans, F.C.S.. London.

" Very palatable and marvellously easy of
digestion."— Society, October 21, 1S82.

"It can in many cases be readily taken
when ordinary coffee disagrees." — British
Medical Journal, July 29, 1882.

"Refreshing, and at the same time nutri-
tious, spirit-infusing, yet absolutely non-in-
toxicating, palatable and wholesome to an
eminent degree." — The Colonies and India,
29th Sept., 1882.

" Both phasing to drink, and adds greatly
to digestion." — The Anti- Adulteration Review,
October, 1882.

" The combination ought, therefore, to im-
prove the health of those who consume it."—

" Malt Coffee, the new temperance
beverage, would seem to make the nearest
approach to what is required. Pure malt is in

3C0TTS EMULSION

■ or PURE^OO-LIVCfl ' OIL WITH

YPO PHOSPHITES G F LIME AND SODA

PE R F EC f — PERM AN EN T-& PA £ ATA BLE.

We are now presenting this Preparation tD the notice of the Medical Profession in
teat Britain, with the belief that, upon a proper examination and test, they will find its
rtues unequalled by any similar combination, and it will warrant their approval and
dorsement.

The high favour it has met with in all the countries where it has been presented, has prompted us to
produce it in this country, and we believe Physicians will not be slow in responding to our efforts in
introduction.

Its PERMANENCY as an EMULSION, remaining indefinitely without separation or change; its
LLATABLENESS, the disagreeable properties of the oil being so entirely disguised that the most
licate stomach can take and retain it; its perfect HOMOGENEOUSNESS, and the excellent results
loeDding its use in all of the conditions for which its unexcelled components are useful, give it an
viable reputation, and the universal sanction of the Medical Profession.

We trust all Chemists will procure a small quantity of the Emulsion, or at least fill all orders they
ly receive for it. We herewith append the opinions of some of the prominent Physicians of London,
dch is certainly a guarantee of its especial virtues.

The British Medical Journal writes, July 7, 1883 : —
. "It is palatable, and we have no doubt that manv patients
p have a repugnance to ordinary Cod Liver Oil would take it without
nculty.

_ London : 3? Keppel Street, Russell Square.

»ear Sin,— While practising in Canada I prescribed Scott's Emul-
*n of Cod Liver Oil extensively, with excellent results.

My Dear Sir, — I am only a visitor here in Loudon, and liave had no
opportunity of using the sample of Scott's Emulsion you so kindly
sent me, but I have regularly prescribed it in America (San Francisco),
and I generally found that patients derived great benefit from its continued
use, and it was always tolerated much better than the ordinary Cod
Liver Oil. Yours faithfully,

I have found " Scott's Emulsion with Hypophosphites " of great
benefit in the treatment of phthisical and scrofulous diseases. It is ex-
tremely palatable, ami does not upset tr e stomach, thus
removing the great difficulty experienced in the administration of the
plain oil. D. P. Kknxa. L R.C.S.I.,

Dear Sir,— I have tried your " Scott's Emulsion " of Cod Liver
Oil with Hypopbosphites in a case of rickets (very young child), totally
adverse to taking any kind of medicine. His nurse tells me he takes
Scott's Emulsion without any difficulty, and even pleasure (sic).
I certainly think he has derived considerable advantage Irom it myself.

THE BURROUGHS INHALER

Is an. ingenious and convenient device for inhaling
iloride of ammonium fumes. By its use the chloride of
tnmonium is brought in more intimate contact with the

any other form of inhaler." — The Medical Press and
ircular Reports.

Lancet, March 31st.

KEPLER EXTRACT OF MALT.

The Lancet says of the Kepler Extract of Malt : " The
st known, and in this country the largest used, Extract
Malt. It is as distinct an advance in therapeutics as was
e introduction of cod-liver oil. It is one of our best
remedies for atonic dyspepsia, and is un-
or "Wasting doubtedly useful in consumption and other
Diseases. wasting diseases." And further adds, " It
very good, and may be used with confidence."

McK. & R. CAPSULED PILLS.

An important improvement has been made, which now
aders the most offensive and repulsive drugs easy of
ministration. This improvement consists in perfectly
Lling with a thin transparent capsule of gelatine all drugs,
ch as quinine, morphia, rhubarb, &c, also the various pills
d powders of the Pharmacopoeia. These capsules are of
ovoid shape, and it has been demonstrated beyond
.estion that when ordinary coated pills are rejected by
jitients there is not the slightest difficulty in administering
iis new form.

IEPLER COD-LIVER OIL WITH EXTRACT
OF MALT.

[This is an emulsified combination of the purest fresh
>rwegian Cod-Liver Oil with 50 per cent, of Extract of
Lit (Kepler).

;$o combined, the oil is subdivided into minute particles,
uich can be seen under the microscope to be as fine as the
jinules of milk, and so much finer than any that can be
tained by any emulsion with gums. On the fineness of
ift emulsion depends the digestibility of the oil. " The
festive change undergone by fatty matters in the small
estine consists mainly in their reduction into a state of
ulsion, or division into infinitely minute particles."
For full Notes and Reports see front pages of The
Lancet, March 31st.

THE WYETH COMPRESSED TABLETS

: OF TABLET

" Are a great improvement on the hard, unpalatable
lozenges which have so long done duty in the Pharmacopoeia.
The Chlorate of Potash and Chlorate of Potash and Borax
will be found useful in throat affections, whilst the Bi-
carbonate of Potash and Bicarbonate of Soda Tablets will
prove efficacious in dyspepsia. The Soda Mint, or Neutral-
ising Tablets, will earn the gratitude of many a flatulent
dyspeptic." — The Lancet.

For full Notes and Reports see front pages of The
Lancet, March 31st.

HAZELINE.

The Medical Press and Circular reports: — " Hazeline
is a valuable astringent remedy, wonderfully efficacious in
checking internal or external haemorrhages, and for allaying
inflammation. It is particularly valuable in the treatment
of bleeding piles, and as a surgical dressing it deserves
attention."

.' This is a really valuable preparation, and, as far as we
ow, a novelty. It contains beef-juice and citrate of iron

ilily, and as its taste is by no means unpleasant, it can

PUBLISHER'S NOTICE.

EDUCATIONAL NUMBER.

ur next issue, September 15, will contain special informa-
i concerning how to acquire the training necessary for
ring the professions of pharmacy, medicine, and

< Inistry. Copies of that issue will be sent to all medical
doIs and technical colleges, and this number will be
ecially valuable to intending students. It therefore

< jrs an excellent opportunity to publishers of educational
ks, or makers of students' appliances, for bringing their

i ouncements before their chief customers.

n important prosecution by the Apothecaries Society
tried at the Southwark County Court on August 3.
endant was a chemist and druggist, keeping a shop in
in ford Street. Evidence was given by three women that
t 'defendant had come to their houses and examined their
c dren, and by a physician, who had subsequently been
ed to see each of the children. The defendant gave
lence that he was a chemist and druggist, a registered
<; tist, perpetual student of medicine, public vaccinator,

and certilied to attend cases of midwifery, while a school
of chemistry and pharmacy was carried on at his premises.
He had been asked for medicine for measle3 in one of the
cases in evidence, did not remember the second, and had
only given medicines for the effects of vaccination in the
third. As many as thirty doctors sometimes came to his
place in one day, but he had no arrangements with them.
A licentiate of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons,
Glasgow, had visited cases at defendant's request. His
Honour said he must hold that defendant had acted as an
apothecary, and gave judgment for plaintiffs with costs.

Our first editorial article gives a summary of the points
which ought to be discussed by the Pharmacopoeia .Revision
Committee. This will be found very suggestive, and we
trust our readers will follow up the questions raised.

An interesting letter from Mr. Daniel Frazer in our cor-
respondence columns introduces some remarks made on the
Pharmacy Act Amendment Bill by an able Glasgow lawyer.
While the whole Bill needs revision by the draughtsman, a
distinction is drawn between the seller in a shop and the
keeper of a shop, which may lead to unexpected results.

We publish this month a special list of the awards to
British exhibitors in the chemical section of the Amsterdam
Exhibition. Our special correspondent furnishes us with a
report of the opening of the Vienna International Pharma-
ceutical Exhibition, and a short account of the most pro-
minent exhibits.

The annual meeting of the British Medical Association
passed off with satisfaction to all concerned. More than a
thousand members were present. The exhibition was well
supported by local and other well-known firms, and was one
of the most interesting of the series. The pharmaceutical
exhibitors were entertained at dinner by Messrs. Evans,
Son & Co. at the time when the doctors were feasting
together.

The British Pharmaceutical Conference will be held at
Soutbport, on September 18 and 19, while its elder sister,
the British Association, will be meeting in the New
Dominion. Several gentlemen have already promised papers,
and Dr. Attfield's presidential addiess will be on the
Relations of the State to Pharmacy. The local committee
are striving vigorously to make the three days at their
disposal interesting and enjoyable to all concerned. South-
port is remarkable for its rapid growth in modem years.
The'population was about 14,000 in 1867 and is about 35,000
now.

Our Montreal correspondent makes some useful remarks
on the prospects of English assistants who emigrate to
Canada. All should take with them good credentials, and
be prepared to adapt themselves at once to their changed
surroundings.

A chemical section, with a committee of thirty-seven well-
known gentlemen, has been formed by the London Chamber
of Commerce. The first object of the seotion is to piomote
the adoption of a uniform system of chemical an ilyses.

Messrs. R ibbins & Co. have published a reply to the
statements of French authorities that bichloride of methyl-
ene, supposed to be of their°manufacture, was a mixture of
chloroform and alcohol. They repudiate the accusation,
and give some details of their method of manufacture.

A druggist at Aberdeen, being sued for damages for the
loss of a husband, compromised the case by payment of
4 01. He had supplied some powders of sodium salicylate,
which were afterwards found to contain 50 per cent, of
morphia bydrochlorate.

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[August 15, 3883.

jrarmatalia.

Curious Case of Contaminated Water-supply.
Mr. Charles B. Fletcher, of Boston, has communicated
for the benefit of English analysts an examination of a
peculiar condition which occurred in some American water-
supplies.

The alarming state of the public water-supply in his own
city caused both anxiety and serious apprehension. Chemi-
cal analysis failed to discover the origin of a bad llavour
which produced illness and disgust.

An immense amount oE capital had been spent upon the
works, and yet a similar flavour had been noticed during
i-everal years, for a short period and in less degree. In the
winter of 1881-82 the Boston supp'.y was unfit for domestic
use.

The water was now carefully examined, and a report was
made to a leading society of physicians.

The only thing noticed was the higher percentage of
albuminoid ammonia than that previously determined. A
low form of vegetable, or perhaps animal, growth was sus-
pected, and the Commissioners, aroused by the public cry,
were compelled to order an investigation.

Heat, it was found, intensified the bad flavour, ajd the
odour, which was slight when the water was coid, was deve-
loped by the same means. Samples having been taken,
filtered and unfiltered, two things were made out : First,
t hat there was considerably more nitrogenous matter in sus-
pension at the effluent gate-ho^e of the storage-basin
than at the influent gate-house. Secondly, that there was
not much difference in the amount of such matter in solu-
tion in the two specimens. The waters underwent a
gradual change on standing. This consisted in a further
oxidation of the nitrogenous matter, leading to an increase
in the amount of free ammonia, and to destruction of the
material which imparted the taste and odour to the water.
Chemical analysis confirmed the connection which existed
between albuminoid ammonia and repulsive flavour. Was
the obnoxious substance causing these results at the bottom
of the lake or not? The mud, when first filtered from the
water, had no odour, neither had the water a bad taste. Did
the taste come from something situated on some other part
of the bottom, or might it be developed by contact of the
rcud and bottom-water with air ? A thin layer of the mud
on a filter- paper gave in half an hour the same odour, which
increased for a time and then disappeared.

A microscopic examination revealed plants belonging to
the Nostoc family in quantity. Spicules of a sponge were
also noticed, and further examination detected its presence
in abundance. A series of experiments determine d that the
odour might be traced to this fresh-water sponge. It is the
'Sponf/illa fluviatilis, Anct. ; it is common in some localities ;
easily decomposes, and, when so decomposed, gives out a
very strong odour. By drawing off the water from one
basin, large masses of the sponge were found growing on
rocks, from which it was readily detached. Water so
contaminated will not immediately reveal the odour on
filtration, even though heated : time is essential. As soon
a,s the cause was known, the remedy was applied, and con-
fidence was restored both in the once vitiated supply and
in the value of chemical analysis governed by common
sense. In these, and in many other cases, the misroscope
and chemistry must work together, and attendant circum-
stances must be taken into consideration.

The communication is deemed by the author to be im-
portant, as the water-supply of other large cities may be
similarly affected.

The Advance of Pharmacists.

Speaking as a pharmacist, not as an individual, there is
no month so barren of interest as that of August. The
schools are closed, and with them the libraries ; the learned
societies have shut their doors ; paint and whitewash usurp
the halls of science, and London is a deserted village.
Even the hard-working chemist has fled from his daily toil,
and the poor journalist has nothing to recount. In the
supposed good old times, a fortnight's rest every other year
represented the chemist's holiday ; there were no Thurs-
day evenings, and Sir John Lubbock's four annual days of
grace had not been inaugurated. Things pharmaceutical
have changed vastly for the better during the past forty
years, and we doubt much if trade interests have suffered.

The secret of this continued prosperity lies in the distinct
personal advance made by so many younger pharmacists in
pure chemical knowledge, and this, we think, is the char-
acteristic feature of modern British pharmacy. Certain
changes which were inevitable have ensued. Tne prestige
of historic houses has diminished, and no establishment can
afford to trade only on its reputation. Many once second-
class retail pharmacies have risen into importance, and the
general position of the community of druggists has un-
doubtedly been improved.

But for this, there was no small danger that the stores,
with their great business developments, would have swept
away the trade. We hold, as an article of faith, that
eventually the power of co-operation to inflict injury will
be checkmated by the reputation gained by the proprietors
of each separate concern.

That which has saved the financial situation will in turn
raise the social. It has done so already, though to a limited
extent ; and from this we would point an obvious moral,
Let us trust more to ourselves and less to legislation for our
future welfare. Personal acquirements must precede public
recognition ; and from experience we may philosophise upon
the subject in the most hopeful manner.

Sljc J)barmatcutical Council.

THE monthly meetingof the Council was held on August 1.^
The attendance was rather less than usual, Messrs.'
Bottle, Gostling, Squire, Symes, Woolley, and Young being
absent. Mr. Carteighe, president, was in the chair.
After the election of members, &c,
The Registrar reported that —

FitzWilliam Bennett Townley, 2 Commercial Place,
Landport,

having made a statutory declaration that he was in business
before the passing of the Pharmacy Act, 1868, and this
declaration having been duly supported by a qualified
person, his name had been placed on the register.

Investments.

The Finance Committee recommended that they should
be authorised to sell out a sufficient amount of stock to com-
plete the purchase of freehold ground-rents at Paddington
Green, Strawberry Hill, and Wimbledon, which purchases
had been already sanctioned by the Council. This was
agreed to after explanations had been given by the President
in committee.

Benevolence.

Five grants of 107. each, and one of 51. were agreed to.;
The Secretary reported that a grant of 20 guineas to aid the
election of an orphan to an institution had been expended
successfully. Mr. Savage mentioned the case of the Isher-
wood orphans, stating that the girl was very comfortiblv
domiciled, and also that it was hoped some kindhearted
person would be willing to take the boy, who was now
between thirteen and fourteen, intelligent, but in rather

lelicate health. Tho Secretary read a letter from a widow,
who, since 1877, had received three grants of 151. each,
laying she was no longer in need of assistance, and enclosing
>s. as a small contribution to the fund.

Library and Museum.
The reports from these departments contained the usual
letails. For the museum some new cases were ordered, for
vhich Mr. Howlett's estimate of 221?. 5s. was accepted. The
esignation of Mr. Elborne, assistant curator, who had
ibtained the appointment, of assistant lecturer at Owens
Jollege, was accepted.

The Educational Prizes.

The professors of the School of Pharmacy had sent in
heir reports, and recommended the following awards : —

vvarded to William Lloyd Williams; and the bronze medal
nd books to the value of 21., presented by Mr. Hills, to
dward Baily. There were thirteen competitors. None
ad obtained enough marks to be entitled to the Pereira
edal. For the Bell Memorial Scholarships Messrs. Ekin
hd Taylor, the examiners, reported that twenty-five candi-
ates h;id competed, namely, eight in London, two each at
Jijnterbury, Liverpool, and Manchester, and one each at
lirmingham, Cambridge, Cardiff, Carnarvon, Darlington,
jdinbur.'h, KxcUt, Lincoln, Oxford, .Sheffield, and Shrews-
wry. Five had obtained more than the necessary minimum
marks. The successful candidates were Eraser
cDiarmid and B, W. C. Pierce.

The Educational Scheme.

Mr. Schacht suggested the early discussion of this matter
jhe curriculum, &c.), with a view of deciding whether
ition should be taken without waiting for the amendfd

Pharmacy Bill to pass. Mr. Williams, however, urged that
it would be a waste of time to discuss such proceedings
without first taking legal opinion as to the power of the
Council to make such alterations. Mr. Schacht thought it
would be more in order to resolve what should be done
before they inquired if they had power. The President
ruled that no resolution could be passed without notice
having been given, and it was left for any member who
should think fit to give notice of motion for the October
meeting.

The Hanbury Medal.

The report of the Presidents of the Linnrean.the Chemical,
and the Pharmaceutical Societies, the Pharmaceutical Con-
ference, and Mr. H. B. Brady, the pharmaceutical chemist
appointed by the two last-named presidents, was received,
recommending the award of the second Hanbury Gold 51 edal
to Mr. John Eliot Howard, F.R.S., for distinguished excel-
lence in the prosecution of original research in the natural
history and chemistry of drugs.

The Royal Arms on Labels, &c.

The President reported an interview and some corre-
spondence with Mr. Farrer, of the Board, in reference to the
clause in the new Patents Bill forbidding the unauthorised
use of the Royal Arms under a penalty of 20?. The clause
appeared to have been introduced because certain patent
agents used the Royal Arms, and in some cases persons had
paid money under the impression they were paying it in a
Government office. It had not occurred to the authorities
that the clause would interfere with labels. With a letter
the President had sent specimens of labels bearing the
Royal Arms. The clause in the Bill as it stood ran as
follows : — "Any person who, without due authority, assumes
or uses in connection with any trade or business the Royal
Arms, or any arms so nearly resembling the same as to be
calculated to deceive, shall be liable, on a summary convic-
tion, to a fine not exceeding 20Z."

On July 30 the Board of Trade had sent a letter enclosing
draft of a proposed amendment of this, asking for the
observations of the Society thereon. The new clause would
read thus : —

" Any person who, without the authority of Her Majesty
or any of the Royal Family, or of any Government depart-
ment, assumes or uses in connection with any trade, busi-
ness, calling, or profession the Royal Arms, or arms so
nearly resembling the same as to be calculated to deceive,
in such a manner, as to be calculated to lead other persons
to believe that he is carrying on his trade, business, calling,
or profession by or under such authority as aforesaid, shall
be liable, on summary conviction, to a penalty not exceed-
ing 20Z."

The subject was briefly discussed. Mr. Schacht thought
all that was wanted was to be allowed fair time to use up
labels in stock. Mr. Greenish thought it would be better
to withdraw the clause altogether, and Mr. Williams also
considered it was an irritating piece of legislation which
would do no good. Mr. Hampson alluded to the Royal
Arms on specie-jars, and thought0it desirable to know more
of t he intentions of the Government ; but on the motion of
Mr. Robrins, seconded by Mr. Andrews, it was agreed by
eight votes to five that the President be instructed to reply
to the Board of Trade to the effect that the clause as
amended would be satisfactory to the Council.

Vacation.

It was arranged that, as usual, no quorum should be
formed for the Council meeting in September.

The Examinations.

From the reports of the examinations in July it appeared
that in England and Wales 28 Major candidates nad sub-
mitted themselves and that 16 of these had passed ; that
for the Minor 15G had presented themselves, but that of
these only 55 had passed ; and that one candidate for the
Modified examination had failed. In Scotland there had
been two Major (one passed) and 30 Minor candidates
(15 passed), and one candidate for the Modified had passed.
For the Preliminary examination 451 candidates had been
examined and 22G had passed.

Fires. — In the early hours of July 17 a destructive fire
broke out. in the premises numbered 20, 21, 22, and 23
Artillery Lane, Bishopsgate. Tire building was one of live
Hoors, 75 feet by 30 feet in dimensions, and occupied by
three firms — Messrs. W. J. Bush & Co., wholesale chemists,
who occupied the four upper floors ; Messrs. J. Richardson St
Co., fancy-soap makers, who held the ground-floor of No. 22 ;

and Messrs. J. Backhouse & Co., who carried on their busi-
ness as hemp merchants on the ground-floor of No. 23. When
the brigade from Bishopsgate arrived the fire had a strong
hold on the upper flojrs of the premises, and althongh,
under the direction of Captain Shaw, C.B , seven steamers
and several standpipes and hydrants were got to work, the
flames burnt through the roof. Several explosions of
chemicals had taken place during the progress of the fire,
but none of a serious character. The water did considerable
damage to the lower floors of the premises, but the main
damage was to the three upper storeys, which were virtually
destroyed. The origin of the Are is not known.

London Chamber of Commerce ; Chemical Trades:
Section. — Three meetings held last month have resulted
in the formation of a special section of the London Chamber
of Commerce devoted to the chemical trades. A committee
of thirty- seven has been recommended to the General
Council. Subjoined are the names : — Chairman, Howard,
Oavid, Esq. ; deputy-chairman. Blolt, John, Esq. 1. Ana-

and Druggists' Sub-section : Preston, A. ; Umney, C. ; Moss,
John, Skilbeck, J.; Barron, Squire St Co.; Burgoyne,
Burbidges & Co. It is decided to hold the meetings
of the section on the last Wednesday in each month
at 2 p.m., and that 10 days' notice at least must be given
to the secretary of all questions for discussion. The
next meeting will be held in October. The first object of
the section is to obtain the adoption of some uniform system
of chemical analysis. It is proposed to discuss this ques-
tion exhaustively, to submit i r. to the Chambers of Commerce
throughout the country, and finally to draft a Bill to be sub-
mitted to Parliament. The subscription to the Chamber is
a guinea a year. Full particulars can be ob'ained from the
secretary, Kenric B. Murray, at the offices, 84 and 85 King
William Street, B.C.

TRADE FESTIVITIES.

THE employes of Messrs. Wyleys & Co. held their annual
" wayzgoose " on Saturday, July 14, when the party,
through the liberality of the firm, drove from Coventry by
way of Kenilworth and Warwick to Stratford-on-Avon,
where a substantial dinner was served at the Golden Lion
Hotel. Halts were made c/i route at Kenilworth Castle and
Guy's Cliff, where Guy, the renowned Saxon earl, retired to
die as a hermit, after valiantly slaying the Danish giant
Colbrand, and the green dragon, wild boar, and dun cow,
which legendary history has placed to his credit. At War-
wick, the short time necessary for a change of horses was
occupied in viewing St. Mary's Church, with its magnificent
tower raised on arches ; and Leycester's Hospital, where
each of the " brethren " enjoys an allowance of 80Z. a year,
and has the privilege or wearing a blue cloak, decora'ed on
the left arm with a device of the bear and ragged staff — the
arms of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leycester, the founder of the
charity. Dinner at Stratford being over, " Success to the
firm, and health to its members," was drunk, with other
toasts, after which the company wandered off to inspect

" Shakespeare's House," and theother memoiials of the poet.
The river ako afforded much attraction, some enjoying the
" boats," whilst those of a more venturesome turn of mind,
and having faith in their own balancing powers, esrayed the
frail canoe. After tea the party were once more " all
together " in the vehicles, and drove with a rattling pace
through the eighteen milts of pleasant country before them,
and finally reached Coventry after spending a most enjoy-
able day.

The annual dinner of the employes of Messrs. Silverlock,
London, took place on July 14 at the Black Horse Hotel,
Horsham. The chair was taken by H. T. Silverlock, Esq. ;
\V. B. Silverlock, Esq., occupied the vice-chair. A number
of toasts, songs, and recitations followed the dinner, and in
the afternoon a cricket-match between some of the married
and single men was played, resulting in a victory for the
former.

The employes of Messrs. F. Allen & Sons, the well-
I known confectioners, of Mile End, E., numbering about
111 10, held their annual beanfeast on July 28, at the Bull
linn, Swanley, Kent, under the chairmanship or Mr. C. Allen,
lone of the tirm. After a good dinner, and a few speeches,
Ithe company amused themselves with cricket, &c , until
15.30 P.M , when dancing was commenced, and kept up with
] spirit until the time of departure, 7.45. The party reached
Ithe works in Canal Road about midnight, well pleased with
j;he day's outing.

The twenty-third annual excursion of the employes of
|Messrs. Burgoyne, Burbidges, Cyriax & Farries, whole-
sale druggists, of ]G Coleman Street, was made to Margate

lirrivalof the party, luncheon was provided at the Imperial
Hotel, and about three o'clock an excellent dinner was served.
Irhe usual loyal toasts were accorded due honour, after
Ivhich Mr. Webb proposed the health of Burgoyne, Bur-
midges, Cyriax & Farries, and this was drunk with musical
Iionours. Mr. Cyriax responded, and then in a brief, but
lomplimentary speech, proposed Mr. Webb's health. The
loast of the visitors was acknowledged by Dr. De Souza.
liome excellent pianoforte selections by the chairman and

i,few songs by some of the c;mpany brought to a close a

athering which was in every way a success.

The annual excursion of the employes of Mr. J. C. Eno
|>ok place on July 28, at the Old Welsh Harp Tavern,
Jfendon. The party assembled at the works in Pomeroy
Itreet, Old Kant Road, and drove to Hendon, rid Kew. The
leather was fine, and a very enjoyable day was spent.

ABERDEEN.

Curious Death from Poisoning. — On January 6, an
jerdeen tradesman, named Williamson, met his death
der unusual circumstances. He had been suffering from
eumatism in the back, and his wife saw in some news-
per that salicylate of soda taken internally relieved such
in. She cut out the paragraph and took it to the shop of
r. John Sangster, druggist, Aberdeen. She was supplied
the shopman with six powders, each containing 15 grains
I the salt, and thereafter administered a dose to her hus-
!nd. Within an hour such symptoms of drowsiness appeared
at she returned to the shop, and six hours later, as the
bwsiness continued without intermission, she went again,
d was advised to consult a doctor. The patient, never-
■iless, died. An inquiry was held, and the widow instituted
f)ceedings against Mr. Sangster to recover 750/. damages
m the loss of her husband. An offer from the plaintiff to
•p the action on payment of 1502. was refused. The
Wk\ was fixed for August 15 and 16, but the case was com-
Aimised on August 3, by permission of the sheriff, by the
l'ment of 400/. The analysis of the powders, by Dr.
• venson Macadam, was subsequently published in the
J'ly journals. One of the powders was found to contain
4'icyJate of soda with 49 00 per cent, of morphia, equiva-
■t to 52 63 per cent, of morphia faj drochlorate, in which
flan it was present.

BERWICK.

A Chemist Fined for Selling Poison without a
Label. — At the Berwick Police Court, on August 8, John
Elliot, chemist and druggist, Hide Hill, Berwick, was
charged with having sold half an ounce of solution of
muriate of morphia without labelling it poison. Mr. Grey
prosecuted, and Mr. J. K. Weatherbead defended. Elliot
pleaded guilty. Mr. Weatherhead explained that Elliot's
assistant had sold the poison without his knowledge, and he
was not aware of the sale until next morning, when a
woman had died from the effect of it. The assistant had
since been dismissed. Elliot was ordered to be lined H.r
including costs, or suffer one month's imprisonment.

CHESTERFIELD.

A Fraudulent Beetle Powder.— Thomas William
Fletcher, 46, traveller, was indicted at the Derby Assizes on
July 30, for having in December. 18S2, obtained 8s. from
Mrs. Ann Bonsall, the moneys of Henry Bonsall ; and on
June 8 last, 15s. from Mrs. Mary Shelton, the property of
Jacob Shelton, and on the 13th of the same month 11*. 6d,
from Henry Parsons Taylor, by means of false pretences, in
the borough of Chesterfield. The prisoner professed to be
the agent for the firm of Messrs. Fletcher Brothers, Leeds
and Nottingham, whom he represented to be the manufac-
turers of a beetle powder which would kill all kinds of
vermin. Prisoner's modus operandi was to tell various
persons who carried on small businesses that he wished to
appoint an agent for each town, and that if they paid some
few shillings they would he appointed agents for the sale of
this particular beetle powder. Under these circumstances
he obtained 8.s\ from a woman named Ann Bonsall, on the
assumption that she was to be the sole agent for the powder,
and also 15s. from Mrs. Shelton, who in that case purchased
a quantity of goods, as well as lis. fid. from Taylor. The
beetle powder was nothing more than plaster of Paris. The
prisoner told all his dupes that they would receive 10.*. per
month for being sole agent. Mr. T. B. Fletcher, of tbe
firm of Fletcher Bros., of Nottingham, chemists and drug-
gists, said that the prisoner was never in any way author-
ised to represent himself as an agent of that firm. There
was no other firm of that name in Nottingham who were
chemists and druggists. Police Superintendent Emery, of
Chesterfield, stated that when the prisoner was in custody
he said that he was agent for tbe firm both at Leeds and
Nottingham, ana that he was supplied with powder by
Messrs. Mather, of Manchester. Mr. Alfred II. Allen, of
Sheffield, the public analyst, said that the powder was harm-
less on beetles and the like, being nothing more than
plaster of Paris, which was remarkably cheap. Prisoner
was found guilty, and sentenced to two calendar months.'
hard labour.

EXETER.

Sad Death of a Chemist. — An inquest was held on
June 18, on the body of Mr. George Delves, chemist, of
High Street, who was found dead in bed on the previous
Saturday. Mr. Delves was of intemperate habits, and when
suffering from the effects of drink he was in the habit of
taking bromide of potassium and a saline draught, one of
the ingredients of which was prussic acid. In his room were
found bottles of the mixture, and Dr. Henderson expressed
an opinion that Mr. Delves met with his death by taking an
overdose of prussic acid. The jury returned a verdict of
" Death through misadventure." Mr. Delves was formerly
Local Secretary of the Pharmaceutical Society, which office
he resigned quite recently, and was also on the Executive;
of the Chemists' Trade Association.

GLASGOW.

Presentation. — Mr. David Lees, pharmaceutical
chemist, Glasgow, was entertained to dinner in the Choral
Restaurant, West Nile Street, Glasgow, and presented with
a Hartsnach's microscope, by a large number of pharma-
ceutical students in the west of Scotland, as a mark of their
high esteem, and in recognition for his valuable services in
teaching for the pharmaceutical examinations. Mr. W. G.
Audus, chemist, Dundas Street, Glasgow,ably discharged the
duties of cbairmau.and Mr. Alexander Brown, chemist, Dum-
barton, in a graceful speech made the presentation, to which.
Mr. Lees suitably responded.

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[August IS, 1883.

Curious Accident. — John Craig, who carries on business
as a slater in Graham Street, Glasgow, was apprehended on
July 21, on a charge of having caused the death of a
message-boy named James Gibson. The boy had dropped
a two-gallon jar of naptha in the street, saturating his own
clothing, and Craig thoughtlessly put a match to the in-
flammable liquid. The boy's clothing caught lire, and he
was severely burned, and died the following morning in
the infirmary.

LEIGHTON BUZZARD.
A large and very handsome pharmacy has just been
completed here by Mr. J. Herington. The fittings are in
mahogany and ebony, a combination which has a pretty
effect. Five large mirrors give a very bright and cheerful
appearance. The front of the dispensing counter is sur-
mounted by hand-painted cathedral-beaded lights, richly
gilded. The whole has been very creditably executed by
Mcfsrs. Bowling & Govier.

NOTTINGHAM.

Lime-water and the Sale of Food and Drugs Act.
— In the Summons Court at the Nottingham Town Hall, on
August 10, before Mr. Blain and Mr. Dobson, Mr. James
Goodall, chemist, of Sneinton Road, was summoned for
having sold lime-water not of the nature and quality of the
article asked for. Mr. Farmer (from the Town Clerk's office)
appeared to prosecute, and Mr. Cann defended. Mr. Farmer
stated that the prosecution was instituted by the Health
Committee of the Corporation, and the defendant was sum-
moned for selling what was called lime-water, but which
they contended was not so according to the provisions of the
Sale of Foods and Drugs Act, 187-5. The Inspector of
Nuisances, Mr. Richards, purchased some of the so-called
lime-water from the defendant, and took it to the borough
analyst, who certilied that it was not lime-water in the
ordinary acceptation of the term, as it was deficient in the
usual quantity of lime to the extent of 47 per cent. Lime-
water proper was water holding in solution the largest quan-
tity of lime that it was capable of containing. The Bench
would see that that was a serious case, as at the present
time lime-water was being very freely prescribed by doctors
for infants. It was very essential that the attention of
chemists should be called to the provisions of the Act. Mr.
Cann pleaded guilty on behalf of his client, and, no evidence
being offered, the defendant was fined 51. Mr. Frank
White, chemist of London Road, pleaded guilty to a similar
charge, and was also fined 5/.

SITTING BOURNE.

Melancholy Death of a Chemist. — A very painful
incident attended an excursion of the Local Working Men's
(Jlub to Brussels and the field of Waterloo last week.
Telegrams were received from the English Consul at Ostend,
and the secretary of the club, announcing that one of the
par'y, Mr. John Saffrey, chemist and dentist, died at
Ostend, just after leaving the steamer which had conveyed
the excursionists from Dover.

UXBRIDGE.

Weights and Measures Act. — Mr. J. C. Rayner,
chemist, High Street, was summoned at the Uxbridge
Court on July 23 for having in his possession 37 unstamped
weights and 57 apothecary's weights which were incorrect.

Mr. E. J. Stevens, the new imspector of weights and
measures, visited defendant's shop on July 13, and found
the weights in the dispensing-box. He had since tested
them and found deficiencies varying from half a grain to a
grain. Mr. William Mercer defended, but pleaded in miti-
gation of the offence that Mr. Rayner had had no intention
whatever of evading the Act of Parliament or defrauding
the public in any degree by giving them short measure. He,
and his father and grandfather before him, had carried on
business in the town for 80 years. He had purchased his
weights and measures from Messrs. Moores & Son. Mr. Gregg,
the late inspector of weights and measures; tested trie
weights and measures about a twelvemonth ago, and made
no complaint about them. Defendant had also employed a
proper person for years to examine them periodically, and
the receipts for the two last payments were produced, one
of which was given so late as June last.

As this person was not present the Chairman held that the
receipts only proved that lie had been paid, not that he had
examined the weights.

Mr. Mercer added that another feature of the case
was that by the 27 th section of the Act a person who
manufactured or sold false weights was liable to a much
heavier penalty than the person who used them. In dealing
with a firm like Messrs. Moores & Son, Mr. Rayner therefore
felt perfectly safe.

In reply to a question from the Bench, Mr. Mercer said
the business had been carried on in the name of Rayner for
80 years, and his client could not say distinctly which
weights had baen in use for that length of time and which
had not ; they had all been mixed together.

The Chairman said they were bound to convict, but they
did not intend to convey the impression that Mr. Rayner
had had any intention of committing the offence. He
would be lined 10s., including costs, in respect of each
summons, 1/. in all.

Mr. Cbarles Gaylard, chemist, High Street, was summoned
for having 15 apothecary's weights and (J measures un-
stamped, and also for having 15 apothecary's weights and
8 avoirdupois weights which were incorrect.

Mr. Mercer likewise defended in this case. The facts, he
said, were very similar to those of the last case, but pro
forma he would plead not guilty.

Mr. Stevens deposed to visiting the defendant's shop on
June 13, and seizing the weights and measures mentioned in
the summons. A 2-lb. weight, the largest of the avoirdu-
pois, was a quarter of an ounce light; a 1-lb. weight,
3 drachms deficient; and the others proportionately less.
The largest glass measure was 2^ drachms " large " on the
first half-ounce.

Mr. Mercer explained that this measure was net used in
dispensing, and added that it was the same now as when
it was received by Mr. Gay lard from Messrs. Moores & Son.
Nothing could alter the marks. The late inspector visited
the defendant's premises twelve months ago and examined
all the weights and measures, and remembering this and
also the fact that he had purchased them from a respectable
firm, Mr. Gaylard might surely sit down and safely rely
upon his not offending against the Act.

The Chairman said they certainly ought not to fine the
defendant in respect of the large glass measure, inasmuch
as he must have been at a loss by using it. He asked the
inspector whether he supposed a druggist would measure
half an ounce in such a vessel.

Mr. Stevens : He would not get half an oivice out if he
once got it in. The officer was pulled up by Mr. Mercer for
speaking of himself and the Board of Trade as " we."'

A fine of 10s., including costs, in respect of each summons,
was imposed in this case likewise, and also in that of Mr.
Tom Waterhouse, carrying on business in High Street,
Uxbridge, as a chemist, who was summoned for having
22 weights and 5 measures unstamped, and likewise for
having 23 incorrect weights.

WEST MALLLNGr.

The Rev. J. II. Timins, Vicar of West Mailing, was
acquitted on July 18, of the charge of the manslaughter of
Sarah Ann AV'right, by administering to her ateaspoonful of
oil of bitter almonds in December last. Defendant believed
that he was administering the sweet oil of almonds, though
he had been warned by the chemist who supplied the oil,
and the bottle was labelled poison.

Canadian ad valorem Duties. — A new regulation,
somewhat affecting the Canadian tariff, came into force on
August 1. It provides that when any duty ad valowem is im-
posed on any goods imported into Canada, the value for duty
shall be the fair market value thereof, when sold for con-
sumption in the principal markets of the country whence
and at the time when the same were exported direct to
Canada. It does not appear likely that this will much
aifect the drug or chemical trade, but it is expected to
influence injuriously trade in hardware, and other branches
which are sold at fixed prices, subject to varying discounts.
Canadian imports for 1881, from Great Britain, amounted
to #43,583,808 ; from the United States, #36,704,112, and
from other countries, #11,323,684.

BRITISH PHARMACEUTICAL CONFERENCE,

PHARMACY IN AUSTRALIA.

A MEETING of the Executive Committee was held at 17
Bloomsbury Square, on July 19. Present: — Professor
Attfield, F.R.S., &c, President, in the chair; Messrs.
Carteighe, Ekin, Naylor, Southall, Taylor, and Dr. Thresh ;
Messrs. Benger & Plowman (Hon. Secretaries), and Mr.
Ashton (Local Secretary for Southport). Letters of apology
for non-attendance were read from Messrs, Groves, Kinnin-
mont, Payne, and Yourjg.

Mr. Ashton (Southport) reported that the preparations of
the Local Committee were nearly complete. The proprietor
of the Prince of Wales' Hotel had guaranteed forty beds for
members of the Conference, and he was of opinion than
more could be obtained if required. Arrangements had
been made for a visit on Thursday morning to the Plate
Glass Company's Works and the Sutton Alkali Works at
St. Helens. On the Thursday afternoon there would be a
garden party in the Botanical Gardens.

The Secretaries reported that acting on instructions
received at the last meeting of the Executive Committee,
they had communicated with a number of gentlemen re-
siding abroad with a view to the appointment of Colonial
Local Secretaries in Canada. Cape Colony, India, New South
Wales, New Zealand, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania,
Victoria, and the West Indies. A sufficient time had not
yet elapsed for any replies to reach England.

They also reported that circulars had been issued to all
registered chemists in Great Britain and Ireland not already
members, inviting them to membership of the Conference.
The number sent was 11,567, and the total cost would be
approximately 9U.

The following grants were made : — 5?. to Messrs.
Dunstan and Short to investigate the pharmaceutical pre-
parations of nux vomica, principally in regard to their
alkaloidal value ; 10Z. to Messrs. Dunstan and Ransom to
further extend the method of alkaloidal extraction with the
chloroform-alcohol mixture ; 21, 2.5. to Mr. W. Elborne to
purchase material for determining the comparative pharma-
ceutical value of commercial rhubarb.

The place of meeting for 1881 was considered.
The Hon. Secretaries reported that reports and papers
1 had been promised for the Southport meeting by Mr. A. H.
i Jackson, B. Sc., Dr. Quinlan, and Messrs. Barnes, Dunstan,
I Elborne, Greenish, Groves, Mason, Naylor, Stanford, Will-
mott, and Woodland.

With regard to the Bell and Hills gift of books, Mr.
Ashton said that no association of chemists existed at
Southport, but he thought it probable that an arrangement
could be made to place the books in the public library for
the use of the pharmacists of the town, reserving the power
to take them away at a future time if an association should
be formed. It was decided that the matter should be left
in the hands of the President, and Hon. Secretaries.

A letter of thanks for a copy of the "Year-Book" was
read from the Pharmaceutical Society of Victoria.

The thanks of the Conference were accorded to the
Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain for the gift of a
copy of the Register of Chemists and Druggists for 1S83,
jand to the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland for two copies
pf the Calendar t)f the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland
for 1883.

Analyses in Germany.— The Berlin police pay for
hemical investigation of the following substances the
rates quoted below, namely : — Six marks for butter ; 3 marks
[for tea; 2 marks for meal, bread, groats, chicory, chocolate,
'mustard, plum conserve, or tobacco; 1} mark for spices;

mark for coffee, cheese, seltzer water, or fruit juices, and

mark lor sugar.

Stamps on Proprietary Articles in America. — The
hew United States tariff law repealed the tax on proprietary
Articles, which brought in about #2,000,000 annually. The
epeal came into operation on July 1, but it appears from
he American journals that neither the public nor the
retailers are to get any immediate benetit, as manufacturers
lave generally declined to make any reduction in conse-
uence.

(from our own correspondent.)

Melbourne, June 25.
TN my last letter I referred to the attempt which was again
J- beiDg made in the direction of early closing for chemists,
and I am glad to say that good has already resulted from
the agitation. At Ballarat and Geelong early closing is an
accomplished fact, and, in addition, at Ballarat all chemists
close from one to six o'clock on Friday afternoon.

Tne daily press of Melbourne has given great prominence
to the discussion, and scarcely a day passes without one or
two letters appearing in support of the movement.

In a leading article in the Melbourne Argus, the writer
says, "It is evident, however, that no matter at what hours
druggists' shops might be closed, some people would need to
be served subsequently. All public requirements could not
be met in the ordinary way without keeping open doors
throughout the whole twenty-four hours. But it is gene-
rally admitted that even pharmacies must close at some
time, and so far as the legitimate needs of the public are
concerned six o'clock might just as well be the hour fixed as
nine or ten.

Nine-tenths of the business done after six might as well
be done before, and would be so transacted if people knew
that no dispensing would be done after that hour, except in
case of emergency. As the druggist trade is to some extent
a close one in this colony, it should be easy to bring about
the reform required.

"If a general desire for early closing exists, a new system
may be adopted forthwith without pecuniary loss to the
trade.

" No doubt the proprietors of the large establishments,
where several assistants are employed, will gladly sanction
the shorter hours. They get through their business in good
time, and can always arrange to have some one on the
premises to serve the few applicants who can legitimately
claim attention during the evening. The difficulty, we
think, will be to secure the co-operation of men who keep
small shops and require no help.

" They may say that they do not want to close early, that
they require every sixpence they can make, and prefer
customers to ease at all hours.

" It is not easy to see how pressure can be brought to
bear in these cases.

"However, if the whole trade will takea large and liberal
view of the subject, and act as one man, the public must
accept its terms."

A large meeting of chemists' assistants was held at
10 o'clock P.M. on June 20 at the Victoria Coffee Palace, the
object being to take steps to secure shorter hours of labour.
Mr. J. B. Mummery was voted to the Chair, and referred to
the efforts of the old Chemists' Assistants' Association in
endeavouring to secure shorter hours. In consideration of
the severe mental strain to which chemists were subjected,
it was very unreasonable that they should be the only per-
sons in the colony required to work until an inordinately
late hour, while other classes (operatives especially) de-
manded and obtained fewer hours. He considered that the
hour at which they were called together was itself sufficient
evidence of the long hours of labour the assistants are sub-
ject to at present. He had no doubt that if the matter were
judiciously agitated, the concessions sought for would be
obtained.

Mr. W. Low moved : " That we hereby affirm the necessity
for a reduction being made in the hours of labour of the
chemists' assistants of Victoria." The resolution was carried,
as was also another resolution appointing a deputation to
represent the views of the meeting to the Pharmaceutical
Society.

The annual meeting of the Pharmaceutical Society of
New South Wales was held at Sydney on June 20, the
President, Mr. Frank Senior, being in the chair. The report
was read by the secretary. It states:— "The satisfactory
results of the examination, in chemistry, phfrmacy, and

knowledge of dispensing are in no small degree attributable
rto the clear and concise way the lecturer has of adapting
his lectures to his audience, as well as the growing desire
of the rising generation to study and acquire knowledge of
that which appertains to, and is inseparable from, their
future advancement and success."

The President, in the course of his address, stated " that it
was imagined that when a youth had entered on his ap-
prenticeship be would devote the whole of that period to
qualify himself for the distant examination. He was sorry
to say this was rarely the case. As a rule, the majority of
these young gentlemen were much fonder |of reading ' The
Bloody Pirate of the Indian Ocean,' or some such startling
work, than the more sober and profitable 1 Cdemistry of a
Candle,' Johnson's ' Chemistry of Common Life,' and many
other condensed and interesting works."

Another clause in the report states : — "Your Council are
glad to be enabled to state that after several meetings and
much deliberation, a new and comprehensive Pharmacy Bill
has been prepared, and that the same will be introduced
•early in the ensuing session of Parliament. This Bill will
have the effect of protecting the duly-qualified chemist,
ousting the charlatan, as well as ensuring confidence in the
public mind, and that of the medical profession, that
none but qualified men will be permitted to dispense or
deal in medicines. A conference of the Pharmaceutical
Societies oE all the Australian colonies, including New
Zealand, to be holden this year, has been projected by the
Victorian Pharmaceutical Council, but upon the proposition
l.eing brought before your Council, it was resolved ' that it
would be advisable to postpone holding the same, until some
time next year.' "

The Sydney correspondent of the Australasian supplement
to The Chemist and Druggist, commenting on the post-
ponement of the Conference, says : — l! Though many greatly
regret that the proposed Conference is indefinitely post-
poned, yet those who know the state of the trade in this
colony will not be surprised at it. There is no unanimity
either in the Society or out of the Society among the drug-
gists of our land. Keenness of competition, and a desire to
overreach or undersell one another, at present prevent any
unanimous action, even although the result would be for the
lasting good of the trade and the colony."

The quarterly examinations under the Pharmacy Act of
Victoria, 1876, have again passed off in a satisfactory
manner, the candidates for the Major examination — of whom
is required a preliminary examination, four years' appren-
ticeship, and attending the materia medica, botany, and
elementary and practical chemistry classes at the Melbourne
University, or the School of Pharmacy, for twelve months,
and afterwards passing a final examination in practical
pharmacy — having all pas-sed. The number of candidates for
this examination will be increasing every year, there being
already 128 apprentices who must pass this examination
before they can be registered.

From New Zealand I learn, under date of June 9, that a
meeting of chemists was held at the Shamrock Hotel,
Dunedin, when it was resolved that the various clauses in
the proposed amendments to the Pharmacy Act be opposed,
and a committee, consisting of Messrs. Marshall, Isaac,
and English, was appointed to give effect to the resolutions.
The meeting also resolved to forward their proposals to all
registered chemists in the colony, and ask their co-operation
in carrying out the same.

Mr. Frederick Wright, the lecturer to the Pharmaceutical
Society of New South Wales, has addressed an interesting
Jetter to the Sydney Morning Herald, on " Pharmaceutical
Education." In his letter Mr. Wright. states, " During the
three years I have been engaged in lecturing to the Society's
students, I have never observed one of. them display the
smallest anxiety to learn more than is absolutely demanded.
To say the least, this is somewhat discouraging to one to
whom the pecuniary remuneration is a maiter of perfect
indifference.

" The examinations may be ' good so far as they go,' but
experience shows they are but poor tests of a candidate's
competence as a druggist. This arises from the fact that
the examiners hither. o have not been experienced as teachers,
and though they excell as business men, and aie highly
respected by all who know them, they cannot be expected to

discharge the duties of examiners with the same proficiency
as professional instructors.

" I am decidedly in favour of a preliminary examination
before apprenticeship, and the term of apprenticeship
should be at least four years."

At the annual meeting of the Pharmaceutical Society of
New South Wales, a unanimous vote expressing; sincere
regret at the deaths of Mr. J. S. Norris, Mr. E. J. Hinder,
and Mr. Frederick William Elliott, junior, was carried.

Mr. Norris was one of the oldest, if not the oldest
druggist, in the colony, having been in business for a period
of 43 years. He excelled as a chemist and as an electrician
more than as a man of business ; and for scientific know-
ledge and ability was held in great esteem.

Mr. Hinder is spoken of in the highest terms.

Mr. F. W. Elliott was the son of Mr. Elliott, of the well-
known firm of Elliott Pros.

PHARMACY IN CANADA.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Montreal, July 26.

PHARMACEUTICAL matters are very quiet on the shores
of the St. Lawrence. In the larger cities the best
families are out of town, either rusticating in a rural retreat
to which paterfamilias has access every evening by the aid
of local trains and commutation tickets, or seasiding it at
Cacouna, Murray Bay, or Tadousac.

This annual summer migration of our best customers
necessarily makes business dull, and the occasion is eagerly
seized upon by the overworked pharmacist to take sundry
little trips to recruit himself.

The fact is the pharmacist stays at home a great deal too
much. A little money spent in foreign travel annually
would make a man of him, both physically and mentally.
His ideas would be forced to expand, for he would see
other people's methods of carrying on business, and perhaps
he might return a little more contented with his lot than
he is at present.

A question very frequently asked by assistants at home
is— Shall I better my condition by emigrating to Canada ?

No direct answer can be given to this question. Suc-
cess depends altogether on the man. Really good
drug clerks (assistants) are undoubtedly always in de-
mand, but it does not by any means follow that English
drug clerks are. It appears to me that the English-
man is not so well adapted to emigration as is either the
Scotchman or the Irishman. He does not fall on his feet so
quickly.

The English drug clerk comes to Canada with very
extravagant notions of his own importance. He no sooner
lands than he begins to criticise and to grumble. Instead
of adapting his own habits to the habits and peculiarities
of the people around him, he wants them to adapt theirs to
his.

It is singular, but nevertheless true, that nearly every
English assistant coming to Canada apologises for coming.
Therefore they are not particularly popular, and we do not
as a rule engage them, but pa?s them along until their in-
sular snobbishness is rubbed out of them. -

The demand for help seems to be more in the direction of
the home-made article. No one of course would refuse an
applicant only because he is English, but the specimens we
see are not exactly what we require, while the native born,
particularly the Ontario men, suit us better. Young men
who are eternally boasting of their wealthy connexions at
home, who dress in the latest style, and who are alwajs
grumbling at the late hours and hard work are not desirable
drug clerks. Tne English assistants who would do best here,
and I think they would be appreciated, are t hose who have
served an apprenticeship in the provinces, arid have after-
wards had a year or two's London experience. In this pro-
vince ability to converse in the French language is neces-
sary, and that is why English emigration of all kinds tends
to the province of Ontario.

no harm. It is always a great risk to place behind one's
counter a vnnng man just arrived from a foreign country,
whose credentials may be all bogus, and himself a dishonest
man. It is not the same when a man is in his own country
and his character can be obtained from his list employer by
return of mail.

In Cinada and in America generally pharmacists pay
wages to their apprentices, the system of binding by inden-
ture for 5 years not being in vogue. A verbal engagement
is usui illy made, the apprentice being in nearly all cases
out-door. Salary begins at two dollars per week
the first year, #3 the second year, and #4 the third
year, after which the youth is paid according to ability.
It would be a very difficult thing to hold a youth in
bondage for five years in this country, the indenture to
the contrary notwithstaniirtg. The discontented youth
would simply take the first train to the United States and
free himself. In a new country the only practical plan is
for the employer and his apprentice to separate whenever
they are tired of each other.

Assistants are well paid when their ability and trust-
worthiness is once well assured. Reliable men earn from
$300 to #000 per year, according to ability. Very few
pharmacists can, however, afford to pay the latter sum, and
I question whether more than four or five in Montreal
receive it, and they are in confidential positions. It is as true
here as it is in England, that pharmacists cannot in justice
to themselves pay large salaries.

The wholesale trade in Canada appears to be in better
accord now than formerly, as a tariff of prices for certain
proprietary articles and druggists' specialties has b ien agreed
upon and printed. A better understanding has also been
arrived at with regard to credits.

It seems rather funny that all the wholesale houses should
agree to sell their wares at the same price. It effectually
puts a stop to competition in the articles thus scheduled.
When a retailer has a list in his want-book he simply sends
it to the firm he is mo3t intimate with, or whom he fancies
treats him most politely. It is very nice, but one would
suppose it will tend to check enterprise.

The great evil remains to be grappled with — that is, the
breaking of packages, and charging at package rates. Thus,
an article is down on the wholesale price-list at $3 a dozen,
and scarcely a house here but would unpack the case, take
the risk of breakage, deliver the goods, and sell one-sixth
of a dozen at the dozen price.

INTERNATIONAL PHARMACEUTICAL EXHIBITION
AT VIENNA.

PHARMACISTS have not often been honoured with an
'•international exhibition " all to themselves It is
true that whenever English pharmacists havechnsen to hold
an exhibition, they have never refused to receive articles
for the reason that they were of foreign origin, and as a
matter of fact, foreign goods have been exhibited on these
occasions. But no one here has ever employed the high-
sounding adjective to designate the modest collection of
apparatus and products which have from time to time ex-
cited a passing interest here, nor have Europe and America
been officially invited, with all formalities, to be represen'ed
on the occasion.

The Vienna International Pharmaceutical Exhibition was
proposed about last November, by the Austrian Apotheker
Verein, partly with the object of gaining an acquaintance
with whatever the manufacturer-i of their own and other
lands had to show, and partly, it appears, for the purpose
of obtaining money for a sort of benevolent fund waich
exists in connection with the society. Evert thing has been
carried out in the most official manner. A programme was
drawn up ; objects fur exhibition were to be classed nader
six groups, the railway companies and the customs were
ineluced to allow the usual concession in respect to the
transit of goods in Austria; as in the case of the biggest
exhibition, the Archduke, Carl Ludwig, was interviewed, and
was obtained as the patron of the exhibition, jurors were
invited and their duties defined, and provision made for
granting diplomas of honour, and diplomas for gold and
silver medals.

It does not appear that the Society intends itself to give
away any gold or silver. The instructions to the juries are
to award diplomas of honour to '-the best, most excallent,
and most perfect works ; " diplomas of gold medals for the
discoveries, improvements, and the useful introduction of
objects exhibited; diplomas of silver medals for serviceable
contributions to pharmacy or its allied branches.

The Committee were instructed to maintain the scientific
character of the exhibition, and to bear in mind that the
perfection of Austrian pharmacy was the object, aimed at.
That frugality was also imposed on the Committee seems
probable from the fact that the President of the t'jmmittee
was able to congratulate the Society that the expenses
incurred amounted only to a little over 400 florins, while
the amount received for exhibition spice had reached about
5,400 florins.

The juries are to examine the exhibits between August 15
and August 20, and their awards are to be published as soon
as possible afterwards. Following are the names of the

OPENING OF THE EXHIBITION.

(BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Vienna, August 11.

The weather here for the last few days has been dull,
with frequent showers ; the earlier part of to-day it has
been still overcast and damp, and a little rain has fallen, but
later it got out. bright and fine.

The building in which the exhibition is held is the
Floral Hall (Blumen Saale) of the Horticultural Society
(Gartonbau Gesellschaft), in the Parkring. It is somewhat
ecclesiastical in form, being cross-shaped. The entrance is
on the east side; opposite is the west transept, of a semi-
circular form ; at the end of this, facing the door, is a fine
collection exhibited by the Austrian War Department, con-
sisting of the medicines and other' appliances, medicine-
chests, &c., of various kinds, ready'.'.for the field. A bust of
the Emperor is placed in front of these. To the right and
lelt, in the body of the building, are placed the stands of
the various exhibitors of drugs and chemicals from different
nations. In the centre are several cases containing books
relating to pharmacy, ancient and modern.

Two galleries cross the centre of the building, on which
are a few stands, principally devoted to confectionery,
comestibles, kc. The view from these galleries is somewhat
imposing as you look down towards each end of the main
part of the building. A judicious display of Hags and bunting,
and the neat arrangement of many of the stands from this
point of view is very effective. In two side wings, parallel
with the main body of the building, are exhibited, in one,
glass apparatus of various kinds for pharmaceutical pur-
poses ; in the other is displayed other apparatus and machi-
nery devoted to the same uses.

The exhibition is cosmopolitan in more senses than one.
Not only are there exhibits from various countries, but even
the 'opathies agree to differ. Dr. Willmar S'-hwabe, of
Leipzig, exhibits a bomceopathic dispensatory — a complete
fit-up of a counter, drawers, bottles, shelves, medicines, &c,
suitable for a homoeopath.

Pharmacy has been once more snubbed by Royalty. Carl
Ludwig is said to be ill, and unable to come and open the
exhibition. In his absence Baron Conrad, of Eybesfeld,
has been deputed to open it, in company with the Austrian
Minister of War, Baron Byland Rheid. Punctually at
10 A.M they arrived, and were received by the President of
the Vienna Apotheke Verein, Herr Von Waldheim, and the
Committee, by whom the Barons were led in front of the
exhibit of the War Minister. Here Herr Von Waldheim
addressed the Minister, who replied, and declared the exhi-
bition open. Director Schaffner then spoke, and after a
few words from the Vice-Major of Vienna, Dr. Prix, the
Committee were presented to the Barons individually, and
the latter then went round and examined the exhibits, many
of them minutely.

A good company of visitors were present at the opening,
but by noon they left the building much deserted. The
charge for admission to-day is 1 florin. To-morrow (Sunday)
and after, it will be 50 kreutzcrs.

The catalogue was not published till noon of the opening
day. It is well got up, and gives, besides a list of exhibits,
fairly correct, much information respecting pharmaceutical
matters in Austria. The priceis 30 kreutzers. •

The principal part of the stands of the exhibitors are in
a fairly finished condition. From a rapid glance round I
notice Austria and Germany occupy far the largest space in
the exhibition, as was naturally to be expected.

The historic German houses exhibit tine collections of
chemicals, particularly Meick, of Darmstadt, whose display
is most valuable. He exhibits fine specimens of atropine and

homatropine preparations and crystallised hydrochlorate of
apomorphia, almost colourless ; also a fine specimen of pure
crystallised eserine (physostigmine), as well as crystallised
hydrochlorate of gelsemine. Gehe, of Dresden, also exhibits-
a fine collection of chemicals and many prepared drugs in
powder, and some, such as rhubarb, cut in small cubes.
G. Hell & Co., of Troppeau and Vienna, exhibit a large
quantity of pharmaceutical preparations of no marked
interest ; Franz Wilhelm & Co., of Vienna, make a fine show
of crude drugs, many in original package-, such assantonica,
ipecacuanha, serons of bark, and mate. Schmidt & Co.,
Leipzig, show fine specimens of crystallised apiol, thymol,
menthol, as well as essential oils. J. Kiitgers, Vienna, has
a good collection of coal-tar products, phenol, xylol,
pyridin, naphtol, chinolin, &c.

France sends a number of exhibits, which are nearly all
on one stand ; they are mostly French special' ies, such as Fer
Bravais, Dr. G. Fournier's preparations of creosote with
cod-liver oil, wine of crcasote, preparations of Kava Kava;
elixir of gelsemium, &c. ; E. Fournier's coca and cinchona
wines; Desnoix & Co. exhibit antiseptic gauze, lints, &c. ;
Rigaud & Dusart exhibit pepsine preparations and santal oil
perles ; MM. Thevenot and L. Pingeon, both of Dijon, exhi-
bit fine collections of perles containing various medicines.

The enterprising Americans are represented by Parke,
Davis & Co., Seabury & Johnson, and Warner & Co.

England is represented by Fletcher, who exhibits his
liquors; and Martindale, who exhibits his nitro-glycerine
tablets and a few copies of the " Extra Pharmacopoeia."

THE BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.

THE annual meeting of the British Medical Association,
which now numbers 10,050 members, was held at
Liverpool in the first days of this month. Bather more than
1,000 associates in all inscribed their names, and in all
respects the meeting seems to have been regarded as a
success. The first item of the programme was a sermon by
the Bishop from the text, " Luke, the beloved physician."
This was on July 31. In the afternoon the first general
meeting was held, when Dr. Strange, of Worcester, resigned
the chair to Dr. A. T. H. Waters, of Liverpool. The report
followed, and then ensued a lively discussion on a bye-law
inaugurated by Mr. Nelson Hardy. The bye-law stated
that any duly qualified male person was eligible for election.
Mr. Hardy wished to make the practice of homoeopathy or
advertising disqualifications as well as femality. Some
abusive remarks respecting homoeopaths by one or two
speakers were distasteful to some of the members, and a
considerable tumult resulted, but ultimately the bye-law
was allowed to stand unaltered. In the evening the pre-
sidential address was delivered by Dr. Waters, who dis-
coursed on the present aspect and the future prospects of
medicine.

The second day was marked by an important address in
surgery by Mr. Reginald Harrison, of Liverpool, who
especially discussed the surgery associated with the urinary
organs. Thefassociation listened to and discussed in sections
papers relating to medicine, surger/, obstetric medicine,
public medicine, anatomy and physiology, pathology,
psychology, opthalmiology, diseases of children, otology,
and military surgery. In the evening a very brilliant
soiree was held in the Art Gallery.

The next day the sectional discussions were resumed,
and in the evening the annual banquet was held at the
Philharmonic Hall, and was attended by nearly 500 gen-
tlemen. At this banquet a special difference is made in the
price of the tickets to those who take wine and those who
do not — a very proper and desirable concession to the
increasing temperance of the age.

At 8 o'clock the next morning the temperance section
met for a breakfast at the Adelphi Hotel, the company num-
bering some 250. A few more sectional meetings were
held, and afterwards the final general meeting was com-
menced when numerous votes of thanks were passed, and

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

the members separated to meet again next year at Belfast
under the presidency of Dr. dimming.

Numerous excursions to some of the chief At lantic steamers,
and to other scenes of interest were organised during the
session, and gave much pleasure. On the top floor of the
College, where all the meetings took place, a most interesting

Exhibition

of pharmaceutical preparations and surgical instruments
was held. This was visited during the period of the meet-
ing by large numbers of the doctors, and it certainly was
one of the best means of bringing before the medical profes-
sion such results of investigation as are worth their atten-
tion. The Committee make no charge for space, but of
course exercise discretion as to what ihey admit. On this
occasion the pharmaceutical exhibits were of exceptional
importance, and particularly noticeable were the high cha-
racter |of the local contributions, and the force in which
American manufacturers presented their products.

Naturally, Messrs. Esans, Son & Co. made one of the
finest and most varied displays, but it seems only fair to
them to say that they declined to supply any of their goods
except through chemists. A notable feature of their exhibit
was a collection of specimens, illustrative of American
pharmacy, prepared by Messrs. H. Sugden Evans & Co., of
Montreal and Boston, including a complete set of the lluid
extracts of the United States Pharmacopoeia, many of which
are unknown in English medical practice. White fossiline,
and a number of the ointments of the British Pharmacopoeia,
also attracted much notice in Messrs. Evans's exhibit. They
also showed a special brand of tasteless castor oil, fine
samples of cod-liver oil, cubeb cigarettes, and a number of
other medicines more or less out of the common way.
Montserrat lime juice, and some tablets like acid drops con-
taining the Montserrat juice in a concentrated form were
"on tap," and the latter disappeared rapidly. Among
Savur's specialities, also showed by Messrs. Evans, were
very convenient little packages for carrying safely bottles
of medicine by the parcels post.

Messrs. Symes & Co., of Liverpool, had also quite a remark-
able pharmaceutical collection, including preparations of
every drug that has been iatroduced in recent years, with
many that have not been extensively heard of. Dr. Symes,
himself a living "companion to the materia medica,*' was at,
hand to explain everything. Dr. Symes was also busy giving
practical illustrations of some urinary test papers prepared
by Messrs. Wilson & Son, of Harrogate, on the suggestion of
Dr. Oliver. By means of these papers, which arc prepared in
the form of the books of litmus leaves, an almost instant re-
action is obtained if albumen is present. First some 15 minims
of the urine is acidified in a test-tube by a citric acid paper,
then a ferro-cyanide of potassium paper or a potassic mer-
uric iodide, or iodo cyanide paper, or a sodium tungstate
per is added, and the test is finished.
A handsomely got up exhibition of new drugs and pre-
parations was shown by Messrs. R. Sumner & Co., of Liver-
pool. It is to be understood that such drugs as jequirity,
onvallarin, &c., were to be found in all these collections,

0 they need not to be catalogued. On Messrs. Sumner's
stand we noticed a simple idea, but a useful one, a •' pulv.
anthem c. papa v." for poultices and fomentations.

Liverpool was further represented by Messrs. Clay &
Abraham, whose varied collection included several useful
pecialties which the firm ought to make better known,
uch, for instance, as their "mist, cinchonas flav;e" and their
magnesia milk " (mist, magneshc c. saccharo), a prepara-
aon specially suitable for children.

Mr. Huggett, chemist, Liverpool, showed in action his
dedicated sanitary pastilles for fumigation, whereby most
uccessfully vapours of eucalyptus, carbolic acid, tbymal,
odine, &c, can be diffused through an apartment.

Three firms mainly represented the pharmacy of the
ietropolis. Messrs. Allen & Hanburys made a splendid
iisplay, and gave abundant proof of the real improvements
hey have effected in many branches of the art. They
irected particular attention to a combination of theirtaste-
ss castor oil with glycerine, in which form it is said the action

1 the castor oil is much increased, rendering it necessary to
ve only a quarter of the dose. Earldoms have been conferred
ir services to the community smalhr than this. Their
edicated jujubes were freely tested, and the opinion of

their suitability for the administration of certain medicines,
especially such as varnim, chlorate of potash, carbolic acid,
Sec, was readily endorsed. A series of the oleates, and spe-
cimens of numberless other drugs were included in this
collection.

Messrs. Corbyn, Stacey &. Co., as usual, had a most effec-
tive exhibition of general pharmacy and of their own
specialties. The " Notes on Drugs, Chemicals, and Pharma-
ceutical Preparations," issued periodically by this firm were
distributed, and form a most useful vade mecum for all who
desire to be informed respecting new medicines. Besides
all these, the firm exhibited a series of the new " abstracta"
of the United States Pharmacopoeia, a form of preparation,
however, which we hardly think is likely to secure per-
manent popularity here. A very ingenious contrivance
amoDg Messrs. Corbyn's exhioits was the simple " inhalation-
respirators," constructed according to the instructions given
by Dr. Burney Yeo. These are not quite novel, but we think
they have not been before mentioned in this journal. I hey
are simply little wire cages, which can be worn like a
respirator, in which is packed a piece of sponge, which can
contain such vaporisable substances as camphor, carbolic
acid, iodine solution, sulphurous acid, turpentine, or other
medicament which it is desirable to apply to the throat.

Messrs. Savory & Moore had an interesting display.
They made peptone enemas, peptone suppositories, and
peptonising apparatus their cheval deiataille. There must
be many cases where the enema and the suppositories of
peptone must be of great service. These, with the other
digestive agents to which Messrs. Savory & Moore have for
so many years devoted attention, were an important study.
This firm also showed the United States " Abstracta," their
gelatine discs for the convenient and safe administration of
powerful medicines, and a number of other medicines.

Messrs. James Woolley, Sons & Co., of Manchester, among
an extensive collection, made leading articles of boracic
acid in various forms, and especially in the form of the
sanitary rose toilet powder, which we have previously
described. They also directed attention to a preparation
previously introduced by them, namely, the ■' Pil. Maranhin
(Woolley)," a combination of a sodium compound with the
active resin acids of copaiba, in accordance with a process
suggested by Mr. Siebold. Each pill represents about
10 minims of copaiba balsam,'and two or three are given three
times a day.

Messrs. Mottershead & Co. showed the series of digestive
preparations which, under Mr. Benger's name, and. with
Dr. William Roberts's endorsement, have of late acquired
considerable reputation as natural digestive ferments.
These included the liquor pancreaticus and the liquor pep-
ticus (Benger), Benger's peptonised beef jelly, and Benger's
self digestive food.

Messrs. Southall Bros. & Barclay, besides the numerous
pharmaceutical preparations, surgical dressings, and new
remedies, for which they have so high a reputation, sub-
mitted a series of " non alcoholic tinctures " in which the
drug had been exhausted by means of compounds of glycerine
or other means, instead of by alcohol. There is no doubt
there is a considerable future for this temperance pharmacy.

Messrs. Wyleys & Co., of Coventry, among many other
articles of medical and pharmaceutical interest, directed
attention to a convenient method of providing ergotin
( Bonjean's) for hypodermic injection. This drug is now in
some practice administered in almost every case directly
after the expulsion of the placenta, and it is said with ex-
cellent results. But it will not keep in solution, except
with glycerine, and that is liable to produce local irritation.
Messrs. Wyleys, therefore, supply tubes containing 5 grains
of ergotin, with a graduation up to 20 minims. This makes
the ordinary dose, and thus the solution can be made at the
moment it is required,

Of course, Messrs. Richardson & Co., of Leicester, were
present, and showed their very numerous preparations,
many of which are of great use to the busy practitioner,
who withes to have reliable preparations in elegant and
convenient form.

Amoug other dietetic preparations were those of the
Aylesbury Dairy Company, koumiss, artificial human milk,
peptonised milk, Sec; Loellund's pure hordeum, aDd its
compounds, with pepsine, iron, or lime; Brand's numerous
essences for invalids, and essence of malt ; maltine, and

America, as we have staged, was very handsomely re-
presented. Messrs. Parke, Davis & Co. thought the occasion
important enough to send a number of cases specially from
Detroit, and to distribute volumes giving in detail thera-
feutic, botanic, and other details respecting a large number
of new medicines. This house does not aim to push par-
ticular medicines, but has organised a system of providing
supplies of any new medicines beard of in any part of the
world, giving samples to medical men who desire to try them,
and publishing the results, wha ever they may be. The
Oascarasagrada, introduced a f ew years ago by Messrs. Parke,
Davis & Co., seems to have acquired much favour in this
country of late a-i a valuable laxative medicine/VMessrs.
Burroughs, Wellcome & Co. submitted their numerous speci-
mens of elegant pharmacy, many of whic'i they seem to
have established firmlv in this country and in the colonies.
Tnese included Fellows's Syrup of the Hypophos-
phites, Wyeth's Tablets, MoKesson & Robbins's pills,
Burroughs HazeliDe, icc/^Messw. Scolfcfrlin & Co.
showed, through their agents, Mes-srs. Allen Ac Hanburys,
their beautitully-made soluble pills and granules, and
Messrs. Scott & Bowne, of Ne*v York, offered sample-bottles
of their cod-liver oil emulsion.

Besides these, Messrs. Arnold & Sons, Mayer & Metzler,
Weis & Wood (Manchester), White & Wright (Liverpool),
l'icard & Curry, and Evans & Wormull exhibited surgical
instruments.

A good many of the doctors availed themselves of the
invitation of Messrs Evaus, Sons Si Co. to pay a visit to
their laboratories, where all sorts of pharmaceutical opera-
tions on a very large scale were explained by Mr. Conroy.
The same firm very politely invited the representatives of
the drug and pharmaceutical firms who were at the exhibi-
tion to dine with them on the evening when the medical
men had their dinner, to which, of course, mere pharma-
cists were not admitted. This act of kindness on the part
of the Messrs. Evans was much appreciated.

CHEMICAL SOCIETY.
June 21.

Dr. W. H. Perkin, President, in the chair.

The following gentlemen were elected Fellows:— G. S.
Bowler, C. Beringer, T. H. Coleman, A. Esilman, H. E. Har-
rison, C. Hulke, H. Heap, B. Hobbs, C. T. Heycock, W. J.
Livingston, B. P. Lascelles, H. R. Mill, M. F. Purcell, J. E.
Richardson, F. G. Roberts, W. R. Reffel, A. Smith, E. H. B.
Stephenson, A. W. Soward, A. H. Samuel, D. Wilson,
R. Williams.

The following papers were read : —

" On Evaporation in Vacuo," by H. McLeod. The
author has contrived several forms of apparatus, and in the
present paper describes two. One in which the water was
evaporated in a glass dish with ground top, at temperature
not exceeding 50°, 50 c.c. evaporated in two hours ;
A. Korting's water-pump was used to obtain the vacuum.
Instead of the dish a test-tube or a combustion-lube may
be employed. In the second form of apparatus sulphuric
acid was allowed to trickle down the tube into which the
aqueous vapour passed, and thus the use of a condenser was
avoided.

_ " Note on a Hydrocarbon and some Substitution Deriva-
tives from Camphor," by H. E. Armstrong.

" On the Preparation of the Pentathionates," by G. S.
Shaw. The author has reinvestigated this subject because
Professor Spring states, in Liebig's " Annalen," that he was
unable to obtain pentathionates by using the method
described by ,V. Lewes. The author completely confirms
the result obtained by Lewes, and has obtained beautifully
cr3stalline salts, in which the ratio of potassium to sulphur
was as 2 atoms to 5. A note is appended to the paper by
Watson Smith.

" On the Decomposition of Ammonium Nitrate : an Inves-
tigation into the Rate of Chemical Change," by V. H.
Veley.

"Note on the Action of Allylic Iodide upon Phenol in the

Presence of Zinc or Aluminium Foil," by P. Frank'and and
T. Turner. Ortho propyl phenol was obtained.

" On a New Gas-burner for Heating Combustion-tubes," by
W. Ramsay.

" On a Bye-product of the Manufacture of Aurin," by
A. Claparede and Watson Smith. When aurin is prepared
from phenol, oxalic acid, and sulphuric acid, some quantity
of white crystals appears on the lids of the aurin-pots.
These were examined by the authors, and were found to
consist of a phenyl ortho oxalic ether.

ALPHONSE KARR ON TOBACCO AND BOTANISTS.

THE article on tobacco in the lait number of this journal
recalls a pleasant chapter in Alphonse Karr's " Journey
Round My Garden," a book written in a strain of humour
which French authors, with all their wit, can seldom attain
to. Humour is rarely translatable, and our attempt to
render it cannot do the writer justice.

" Henbane, stramonium, and tobacco," he says, " are all
comprised in ODe family of poisonous plants. Tobacco is,
perhaps, less poisonous than stramonium, buo more so than
benbane It is a handsome plant, some 6 feet high, with
rich green leaves, amid which are bouquets of rare Howers of
a graceful form.

" For a long time tobacco flourished solitary and unknown
in some corner of America. We got it from the savages of
that land, who use! it on great occasions for the intoxica-
tion of its smoke, and we gave them brandy in return. It
was by this amicable interchange of poisons that the rela-
tions between the two worlds commenced.

" Trie earliest snuffers of tobacco were at first mocked at,
then persecuted. James I. of England wrote a book against
them, which be called ' Miso-capnos.' A few years later,
Pope Urban VHI. excommunicated those who took snuff in
church. The Empress Elizabeth seems to have thought that
the penalty of exc jmmucication did not go far enough ; she
therefore commanded that the beadles should confiscate the
snuff-boxes of those who tickled their noses during divine
service. Amurat IV. forbade the use of snuff under penalty
of having the nose slit.

" No useful plant would have resisted such a series of
attacks.

" Suppose that before the introduction of tobacco someone
had said : ' I want to invent a voluntary tax which shall add
some millions annually to the State revenues. It must be
on something which we can get nearly everybody to buy.
Now there is a certain poisonous plant growing in America.
We can express from its leaves an empyreumatic oil, one
drop of which will cause an animal to die in horrible con-
vulsions. Let us bring over this plant ; chop it up, or powder
it ; sell it very dear ; and tell people to thrust the powder
up their noses.'

" ' You will pass a law to force them to do so 1 '

" ' Not at all ; I am proposing only a voluntary tax. As for
the chopped up leaves, we will teli tlie people to breathe
the smoke of them.'

" • But that will kill them ? '

"'No; they will suffer somewhat, in consequence, from
pains in the stomach, giddiness, colic, spitting of blood, and
some pains in the chest; but they will get accustomed to all
this. Man is more a creature of habit than is believed. In
fact, he has lost all his nature and has nothing but his habits
left. He is like this old knife, which has had its blade
renewed three times and its handle twice. By dint of con-
tinually smoking, men will find these sicknesses, pains, and
cold sweats gradually diminish, and at last these inconve-
niences will only return when the tobacco is extra strong, or
the smoker is out of health. Those who snuff will sneeze,
and will lose their delicacy of smell by the perpetual irrita-
tion of their noses.'

" ' Then the plant has a very attractive smell, I suppose ? *
" ' On the cjntrary, its smell is very unpleasant. But we
will sell it very dear and we will return the business as
monopoly.'

" ' My good friend,' the interlocu'or would reply, ' no one is
likely to dispute the monopoly of such an article with you.
I should advise you, instead of going to America for this
poisonous plant, to 0}ien a shop and commence the sale of

kicks and blows with a stick. You would get quite as many
customers.'

"That is what any ordinarily intelligent person would
have supposed ; and he would have been entirely wrong.
The kings of France, instead of satirising tobacco, con-
fiscating snuff-boxes, or slitting noses, took up the business
in earnest, and pushed it by presenting snuff-boxes to poets
with their portraits set in diamonds. Tnose small invest-
ments brought them back I don't know how many millions
per annum.

" Fayon, one of Louis XVI.'s physicians, prepared a paper
to read" in the schools against tobacco. He was ill when the
time for reading it arrived, and a friend read it for him —
takiDg a pinch between each paragraph.

" ^anteuil the poet died suddenly after drinking a glass
of wine in which some tobacco had been infused.

"The potato had more trouble to get established in
France than tobacco had."

It may be permissible, while the book is in our hands, to
extend this article a little by addiDg a sketch of the chapter
on "The Savants.'' It must be under.-tood that the author,
finding himself unable to accompany a friend on a voyage
round the world, professes to conso'c himself by lookiDg a
little closely into the wonders which lie around him, and to
narrate his experiences in a series of letters to a friend. So
one wet day, when he is not able to go out, he proposes to
spend his morninsc in an investigation "of a species as
curious as anj' that either you or I are likely to meet with
in the course of our travels ; I mean the savants —

"You remember those happy days of childhood, full of
gaiety, of games, and of affection, and how we were too
soon handed over to pedants to weary us at ten years of
age, so as to make us wearisome for the re<t of our lives.

" Recreation is the true education of that period : it makes
us healthy, vigorous, active, and brave. Why should
children be compelled to burden themselves at that age by
learning things which may or may not interest them at an
age they may never reach ? Why should they be forced to
admire what they cannot understand 1 Why should one
fixed literary education be hammered into people who are
afterwards to occupy themselves under all sort.s of human
conditions? And why should so much of these literary
labours be taken up with the study of the on'y two
languages which are no longer spoken ?

"Just as the pedants treat children, so do the savants
treat everything they touch. They make everythu g weari-
some, dry, stiff, and stilted. Flowers they starch.

" See the savants enter a smiling meadow, or a perfumed
garden. Listen to them, and you will henceforth h >ld the
meadow and the garden in horror.

" First of all, they have onstructed three barbarous
languages to describe the graceful flowers ; then they have
combined these to make a language more barbarous still ;
and then every individual savant has contributed his litr.le
share of new barbarism, just as in ancient times every
traveller had to add a pebble to the heaps of stones by the
wayside as he passed.

" Let me write down here, just as they occur to me, some
of the words of the language made by these gentlemen, and
then try if it is not sad to see the flowers, those ' joys of
the eyes,' as the Greeks called them, so treated. I will not
invent a single word, and those that I give will be only a
very few of the category used by these gentlemen: —
esocarp, hilum, micropyle, homotropous caryopsis, achene,
alvace;e, chalaza, rubiaceae, strobilus, infundibuliform,
mneandria, angiospermia, geraniaceae, quinquelocular,
imonoecious, colcorhiza, balaustion, rhizome, geniculate,
dichotomous, stoloniferous, ligule, aciculate, sanguisorbeae,
pinnatifid, terebinthacere, polyandrous, pericarp, spathe,
rlume, triquetrous, suberous, ensiform, ribesioides, lyrate,
tnonosepalous, turbinate, hypocrateriform, urceolate.

" Is it enough ? You had better be content with these, for
here are plenty more to quote from. Beside?, the savants
nvent new ones every day. And among all I have given
•ou there is not the name of a single flower.
[ "As for the names of flowers, see those bunches of mignon-
tte at the bottom of that old wall. Linnaeus, who, although
e contributed his share to the general barbarism, had some
ingering affection for flowers, described the perfume of
lignonette as ambrosial. Make haste to breathe the per-
ame, and to examine the yellow spikes of the plant, for

there are a couple of savants coming. The charms of the
mignonette will vanish. What are its odour and colour /
Botanists recognise neither of these They are two luxuries,
superfluities, which God in his prodigality has wasted on
flowers, but which the savants have taken away from them.
What would become of creation if the savants did not keep
it in proper order ?

" Savants would have all flowers like those which they
have dried in their herbarium, those horrid cemeteries
where flowers are buried wth portentous epitaphs. Now
one of the savants looks at the mign >nette and tells you : —
' This is a caper of the family of the capparides, without
stipules. The petals of the corolla alternate with the
sepals of the calyx ; stamens hypogy nous, pistil stipitate, and
formed by the union of three carpels, the ovules attached to
three trophosperms, seeds often renifotm, and with an
endosperm.'

" ' All very fine ! ' cries the other savanf. ; ' but the m'g-
nonette is not a caper. According to L'ndUy if. is an
euphorbiacea, but in my opinion it is a cisous. Tne calyx is
a common involucre, and very globular, rarely unilocular,
seeds rolled in a fleshy endosperm.'

"'I recognise the endosperm,' replies 1h^ first savant,
'and I admit that it is fleshy ; but I still maintain that the
mignonette is a caper. And further, I say that a man can
have very little notion of botany to put it among the
euphorbiaceae.'

" It would be too unkind to the mignone'te to report this
discussion further. Let us hear a savant describe another
flower. He takes the marshmallow, a little creeping plant
with round leaves and rose flowers, which is almost hidden
by the grass. Listen : —

"'Caljx monosepa'ous, anthers reniform and unilo-
cular, pistils composed of several carpels often vertictllated,
fruits forming a plurilocular capsule, which opens into as
many valves as tnere are monospermous or polyspermous
cells, seeds generally without endosperm, with foliaceous
cotyledons.'

" Of course you do not undersfand any of this,
but try to remember the words for a moment. Tceo
as'< the savant to describe to you the baobab. This
is the biggest tree in the world. At a distance it looks like a
forest, its trunk often measures a hundred feet in circum-
ference. There is one in Senegal which is said to be 6,000
years old. This is the savant's description of the baobib : —

" ' Calyx monoscpilous, anther reniform and unilocular,
pistils composed of several carpels, often verticillated,
fruits forming a plurilocular capsule, which opens in'o as
many valves as there are monospermous or po'yspsranus
cells.'

" ' But stop, savant. You say you are speaking of the marsh-
mallow, or at least that is exactly how you described the
marshmallow just now.'

" ' Marshmallow, or baobab.'repTies the savant, ' theyarethe
fame to u=. The dignity of science does not allow us to
concern ourselves with those differences which strike the
common observer.'

"So these savants see nothing of size, colour, odour, or
taste. They will give ten names to one plant, while they
call the cherry, the r.lum, and the apricot trees all prunus,
the almond and the peaih are both amygdalus. What do
they know of the Easter daisy or the forget- nie-rot ? The
first is an aster, and the second has been daintily named the
myosotis scorpoides."

M. Karr often recurs to his fofs, the savants, and re-
counts the insults they have piled on his beloved flowers.
But as so many of tho?e who will read these lines are
botanical savants themselves, we will not venture to pursue
further his examination of '• this species."

SOAP for lin. sapon. co. is made by Mr. S. Hammer, of
Sacramento, U.S., by dissolving 6 oz. caustic potash in 2 pints
of water, aud heating the solution with 2 pints of castor oil
until it forms a transparent mixture, not milky. Stir it.
Then add a saturated solution of 8 ozs. of chloride of sodium,
whereby the soap is changed to a soda-soap. Stir until the
mixture has begun to cool. Then allow it to subside for a
day, and decant off the liquid portion. Cut in pieces and
dry for use.

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[August 15, 1883.

ACACIA.

FROM Dr. Squibbs' review of the United States Pharmaco-
poeia, published in his JSpJicmeHs, we take the fol-
lowing : —

The gum arabic from which acacia is selected comes
chietly from Kordofan, down the Nile, in sacks, to Cairo,
Alexandria, or Trieste. In this original condition it is called
gum arabic " in sorts," that is, unsorted or unseparated.
The fragments are of all shades of colour lighter than a very
dark amber, and are contaminated with bark, dust, Sec. At
the three points mentioned the gum arabic is picked —
women, children, and cripples being employed in picking it,
and at Trieste especially, the picking constitutes quite a
large and important industry. This picking separates the
fragments by colour and by freedom from adhering bark,
&c, into about rive grades usually, and these are called,
technically in commerce, "'first picked, ' "second picked,"
" third picked,'' and so on, and these grades are then fitted
for their special uses chielly in the arts for "sizes "and
"bodies" and in confectionery. The first and second
picked are very nearly colourless, and only differ in colour
by a shade or two, but the second picked is not so free from
adhering specks of batk. The first three or four of these
grades come into the markets in cases containing' about
136 kilogrammes or 300 pounds each. The other grades
come in bags. Of these grades the first picked only should
constitute the acacia of the pharmacopoeias, and to this grade
only does the name acacia properly belong-. It is. therefore,
not " gum arabic," but is " acacia," selected by picking as the
best and purest, part of gum arabic. It is true, however,
that this grade is rarely bought for medicinal uses, the
second and third picked, which are c msiderably cheaper,
being generally used. If not seen together, few buyers can
distinguish between " first picked " and '• second picked," so
that sellers by keeping the " first picked " out of their assort-
ment are easily able to sell second for first, and so on down.

Other varieties of gum arabic come down the Nile which
are well known in commerce, but the sources of which are
not well determined. They are not distinguishable in
appearance from the gum just mentioned, and go through
all the process of picking exactly as do the other gums, and
they appear in the markets together, and in " first hands,"
that is, in the pickers' or in the large importers' bands, the
cases are seen side by side, but after leaving " first hands "
the distinctions between these and true gum arabic are
commonly lost. These gums, are, however, of inferior
quality, and are sold at a lower price. A few years ago the
difference in price amounted to 20 to 25 per cent., but of late
the true gum arabic has fallen somewhat in price, and now
the difference is hardly greater than 10 per cent. These
inferior gums have been variously called " Gum Sennaar,"
or in the market " Senare," "Ghezireh" and "Gedda,''
probably from the districts in which they are collected ; the
latter name being the most common, and now pretty
generally applied to the whole class of these inferior gums.

" First picked arabic " and " First picked Gedda " are
often undistinguishable even by experts, unless seen together
and closely compared, and hence the cheaper is often substi-
tuted for the better and dearer gum, and still more fre-
quently is mixed with it as an adulterant. The chief
characteristic of these poorer gums is a sour smell, which,
though easily recognised in the " sorts " or in the lower
grades, is by no means easy in the first and second picked.
Generally, however, by brushing off the surface gum from
the top of a case, and plunging the hands down so as to
bring up a double handful from near the middle of the case,
the sour odour can be detected. But if 10 or 20 per cent. of
the Gedda only is mixed with the true gum, it is almost
impossible to detect it.

The inferiority of these gums is that they make a thinner
and poorer mucilage than the true gum, and a mucilage
which changes and sours sooner. The expression in the arts
and in confectionery is that it "does not go as far," — " does
not make as fine a stock," and causes loss by spoiling more
easily. The inference drawn by the writer from these cir-
cumstances is that these gums come from districts which are
subjected to showers, or to some form of dampness which is
sufficient to start a slight fermentation in the gum itself.
This hypothesis is strengthened by the circumstance that a

bag of fine gum which accidentally gets wet, soon develops
this sour smell, while others of the same lot will have the
natural freedom from all smell, or have the very faint, clean,
sweet smell.

The uses of acacia in medicine require it in two forms,
namely, in solution and in fine powder. The solution is
used in various ways and for many purposes, and is officinal
in the forms of a mucilage and a syrup. The mucilage con-
tains 34 p. c. of acacia, and the syrup about 8 p. c. The
solutions do not keep well, especially when there is any ad-
mixture of Gedda in the acacia, or when there is the least
quantity of old solution left to start the souring of the new,
and therefore they should always be freshly made. To make a
good solution promptly not only requires some skill, but also
requires that the acacia be in a proper condition. Taking the
acacia in its officinal condition the solution of the fragments
is a very slow process. If it be rubbed up in a mortar enough
of it goes into fine powder to make the whole clog together,
and then again the process is tedious and troublesome,
whilst if fine powder be taken there will be still more diffi-
cult}' and the loss of more time.

Many years ago the writer made a series of trials to
determine the condition best adapted to making easy and
rapid solution, and the result was that a granulated acacia in
the form of a coarse powder free from any fine powder was
all that was needed, and a "granulated acacia " has been
supplied to the markets ever since, and is now in common
use. This is made by coarsely grinding the first picked true
acacia until it all passes through a No. 50 sieve. The finer
particles are then all taken out of this coarse powder by
careful and thorough use of a No. 80 sieve. This leaves a
very uniform, clean, coarse powder, which constitutes the
granulated acacia. That which passe; through the No. 80
sieve is again ground in a finer mill and passed through
bolting cloth No. 120, and constitutes the powdered
acacia, adapted to a different class of uses. The granu-
lated acacia is so promptly soluble that it cannot
be washed with cold water, as directed by the Pharmacopoeia
under the head of " Mucilage of Acacia," nor is the washing
needed, as the mucilage will be opalescent in either case and
not very different, it is, however, true of acacia, as of other
drugs, that the grinding does render the solutions more
opalescent, because the particles of bark,- &c, which are
insoluble are ground up very fine, and because the attrition
grinds off fine particles of the mill surfaces. From these
circumstances it comes that the finer the powder the more
opalescent the solutions made from it.

BICHLORIDE OF METHYLENE.

MESSRS. BOBBINS & CO. have published a reply
to the statement made on a French authority, that
methylene, supposed to be of their manufacture, proved to
be a mixture of chloroform and alcohol.

" To that statement," they say, " we give a most emphatic
denial, and say that by no admixture of chloroform and
alcohol can any preparation be made possessing the same
chemical qualities and other characteristics of methylene.

" A mixture of chloroform and alcohol can be easily detected
by simple distillation ; by this means the alcohol can be, to
a considerable extent, separated from the more volatile
chloroform, giving a higher boiling-point and low specific
gravity. By treating methylene in a similar way and com-
paring results, the difference in the general behaviour of the
two compounds is manifest.

" When Dr. Richardson introduced methylene to the pro-
fession in 1867, we adopted for making it the only practic-
able method known, as given in some of the chemical works,
viz., by the action of metallic zinc on a mixture of chloro-
form and ethylic or methylic alcohol. On application of
heat, strong chemical action takes place, with formation of
chloiide of zinc from the chloroform, and oxide of zinc
from the alcohol, proving clearly a chemical change in the
liquid.

•' The process, although apparently simple, is not without
difficulties in practice ; the zinc, so readily attacked at first,
soon becomes protected by the oxychloride, making a long-
continued action more difficult to sustain, thus causing a
wide difference of temperature from the first to the last

stage of the process. These difficulties were so great that
Dr. Richardson, making the first specimen with which he
experimented, told us that it had taken him ten days to
produce 15 oz. of the fluid.

"Long experience has enabled us to obtain more uniform
results. We now distil the methylene at about 127° to
128° Fahr., and, as a rule, never varying more than 3° from
the first to the last part of the distillation.

"We have constantly invited medical men to see the
process in operation, and shall be happy to do so again to
anyone in the profession who may take an interest in the
matter."

THE CHEMISTRY OF PACKING.

MR. G. W. WIGNER, F.C.S., F.I.C. (President of the
Society of Public Analysts), recently read a paper
before the London section of the Society of Chemical
Industry, in which he pointed out the importance of proper
packing in the case of various substances imported and
exported. Giving instances of unscientific packing, he
said : —

Oysters have been imported into this country in barrels
made of wood containing a very large proportion of tannin,
with results which can be better understood than appreciated.
The iron contained in the liquor has produced a very notice-
able proportion of ink, and the oysters themselves have
become converted into a poor but certainly novel kind of
leather, while it is not an unknown thing that tinned fit.li
and tinned acid fruits have been packed in vessels, in which
lead predominated over tin to a very marked extent.

Among the imports which we as a nation receive there are
many substances not only of delicate odour but of strong
and yet delicate scent, the character of this scent or
perfume being such that it is practically impossible to
prevent it from being communicated to neighbouring
ipackages in the hold of a vessel. Not only so, but we
[manufacture scents of certain kinds in very large quantities
land export them to other countries, and it is well known
[that the packing of these is attended with considerable
[difficulty, and that they are only accepted as freight on
feomewbat exceptional terms. In what may be considered
]the worst of thefe cases stoppered bottles, of course, come
largely to our aid, but if the stopper of a bottle has been
ground in with either emery or sand, it is, I believe, a
latter of absolute impossibility to make it air-tight. In
;oods for home consumption leaden tubes or cases or capsules
ire frequently used, but the difficulty of making them air-
tight is even greater than in the case of the bottle.

Where goods of an oily or greasy character have to be
jacked, and the escape of the oil may to a considerable
•xtcnt be attended with the risk of fermentation or racci-
lity, grease-pro _>f paper or some such packing has to be
tsed, and up to the present this paper is unsatisfactory,
knless very costly kinds are used. In considering the ques-
on of export goods, we have, at the outset, to face the fact
lat goods stowed on board ship have necessarily to be
icked in the hold, and to remain there for weeks, or even
onths, and that wherever the voyage may be to it is
most certain that the temperature in the hold during
;arly the whole time is far in excess of our ordinary
Inglish atmospheric temperature. To this must be added
lat the atmosphere of the hold of a vessel is saturated with
|oisture, and very frequently svpursaturatcd. Bilge water
lists in small quantities in every vessel. So that at night
pen a slight fall of temperature is likely to occur, moisture
the form of dew or cloud would be produced and deposited
ion the goods. This is not theory only, but a fact which
>s been noted in numbers of cases. This moist air acts
lidly and energetically upon metallic bodies, and is the
trt active agent in setting up decomposition in organic
pies.

t is notorious that a large proportion of tinned goods
|icb come to this country are injured so as to be rendered
iialeable, but it is not equally well known that a large
mbcr of those which are actually sold are really in a Con-
don which renders them unfit for food. It very fre-
ntly happens that when tinned fruit or fish or meat goes
the tin becomes what is technically known as " blown."
|9 " blown " condition is the expansion or bellying out-

wards of the ends and sides of the tin, and is produced by
the liberation of gas within the tin itself, which should have
been almost in a vacuous sia'e. In some cases thegas which
causes the " blown " state is produced by the decomposition of
the tinned substance, and many tins are absolutely burst by
the force with which this gas escapes. But in other cases a
small amount of free acid, or an acid sale present in the
substance itself, or generated by its decompo.-ition, acts
upon the iron when it is imperfectly coated with tin, or
upon the lead if the proportion of lead in the tin is too
high, and gases are liberated which at ence set up an
objectionable state in the contents of the tin, and bring
about its destruction, either by bursting the tin by the
internal pressure of the ga*, or perforating it by the action
of the acid upon the uncovered points, which are necessarily
those most easily affected by the acids. Accompanied by
this comes another and perhaps equally serious result. The
tin, some of the iron, and the lead contained in the tin are
dissolved, and the contents of the can become contaminated
with these metallic substances. It, is uncommon to meet
with a sample of t'nned salmon or lobs'er which is in a
really good condition, viewed from a chenical standpoint,
and acid fruits, such as peaches, apricots, and plums, seldom
remai n gr od for the second season. To obviate this result
various methods have been proposed. In many cases the
interior of the tin has been lacpierel or coated with some
supposed impervious varnish, bur, this more frequently proves
injurious than beneficial. Itisscarcslv possible to manipulate
a tin which has been varnished without cracking the varnish
to some extent and producing either a slight separation of the
film, or a pin hole. When this is the case, the whole of the
action of any acid contained in the contents of the tin is
concentrated on the one spot, and the destruction of the
tin is only a question of time, and probably a short time.
Another attempt was made by coating the iron with
chemically pure tin by electro-deposition, in the hope that
by this means any microscopical holes would be covered.
In practice this did not work a,ry better than the other
plan, because the solder still furnished a secotd metal, so
that galvanic action was set up inside the tia to as great an
extent as before. In the Paris laboraory hundreds of
samples of tinned foods have been examined, and the almost
universal presence of both tin and lead in all classes has
been strongly remarked upon.

Tea is remarkably prone to acquire any external odour
from the air in which it is placed. It is, of course, well
known that tea is always packed in cases which are lined
with lead. In the case of China teas the lead is tolerably
pure, cast into sheets by pouring the melted metal on to one
stone and dropping another stone on the top of it. This
primitive method produces a, sheet of somewhat singular
uniformity in thickness, weighing about 2 lbs. to 3 lbs. to
the square foot. Indian teas are packed almost exclusively
in lead which is sent out from this country. It is not pure.
It contains an admixture in moat cases of tin, and some-
times a small proportion of antimony. These are added to
enable the lead to be rolled much thinner, and the weight
of it is not more than J lb. to the square foot. Before
any injury can occur to the tea itself this lead must
be either destroyed or perforated, or at any rate it
must not be in an air-tight condition. It is obvious
that, except in cases of neglect, all such goods would
be packed in wood which was at any rate fairly well
seasoned. Until recently only one kind of wood has been
used for packing tea. This is a spec.es known as " toon "
wood, and every one who has ever seen a tea-chest made of
it must be familiar with its general characteristics. It is
easily worked, does not require to be stacked long to season,
is free from smell, and not very liable to absorb water. The
cases of injury with this wood have been of only occasional
occurrence, and appear to have been determined much more
by accidental circumstances than by even an occasional
failure in the character of the wood itself. But of late
years the supply of "toon " wood has run sbort, the Chinese
have had to resort to other woods, and in Assam woods are
being u^ed at random. The rest of Mr. Wiguer's paper was
devoted to details of injury to teas, resulting, in his opinion,
from the wood of the cases absorbing moisture and causing
the lead envelope to be attacked, white lead being often
found in larger or smaller proportion on the wood next to
the lead.

LIME-WATER.

By Thomas Maben, Hawick.*

EVERY apprentice lias made lime-water, and it s°)dom
occurs to any that there is the slightest difficulty m
tuning out a perf ct atticle. " Given plenty of slaked lime
and good wa'er, how could there be anything else hut a
perfect article?" is lhe question that rises to the lips of
many an astonished reader, and it, is with a view of dispel-
ling some crude notions regarding this, the simplest of all
galenical operations, that this note has been written. First
of all, there need ba no doubt as to what a perfect lime-
water is. It is simply a s mition of calcic hydrate in water,
containing ".~>6 grain of calcic oxide in each fluid ounce,
at least, ihe British Pliarmac ipceia r< quires it to be of this
particular strength. Provided the laboratory is kept at a
temperature of (or under) 60° Fahr., at which the British
Pharmacopeia directs all estimations to be taken, there is
no difficulty in preparing a perfect article, it being of course
understood that the directions of the British Pharmacopoeia
are strictly adhered to. As a matter of fact, however, it not
unfreiuemly ha| pens that lime-water very far from perfect
is freely supplied to that mitt patient of all animals — lhe
unsuspicious British public.

Trie writer has estimated many samples of lime-water
purchased in various parts of the country, and the general
result is certainly far from creditable to the profession.
One might naturally expect that while in a few cases the
strength might happen to be as low as -45 grain per oz , it
would very rarely be under •"> gtain. If, however, it is
found to be frequently under ihis latter figure, one could
only conclude that this state of things arose either from
downright ignorance, or gross, nay, culpable carelessness.
Wnat then do we find regarding the samples already referred
to? (Ttie wriier purposely refrains from indicating the
localities from which these were obtained, it being sufficient
to stale ihat they wore all purchased as in the regular course
of business, and examined within two days thereafter.) Of
the total number —

18 per cent, were of full strength, contnioing "56 grain CaO per fl. oz.
23 ,, contained between -5 and -55 grain CaO per fl. oz.
SO „ „ „ -4"> „ -5 „ „

12 „ „ ,, i „ -45

17 .. "3 „ -4

Two of the samples were of the disgracefully low strength
of "3 aod ''iOi grain respectively, while no fewer than 59 per
cent, of all the samples contained less than -5 grain CaO
per oz. The writer has never met with any lime-water con-
taining less than -3 grain, but it will be fresh in the minds
of many leaders that a public analyst recently certified
that a given sample contained the miserably low amount of
•1 grain, flow anyone with a conscience can call this lime-
water seems passing strange.

The question now arises, How is it possible that there
should be such differences in the commercial qua'ity of this
article? The Bri ish PharcnacDpoeia process is simplicity
it self, and, if adhered to, ought in nine cases out of ten to
turn out a thoroughly good product. The directions are as
fi Hows : — " Take of slaked lime 2 oz., distilled water 1 gallon.
Put the lime into a stoppered bottle containing the water
and shake well for t jvo or three minutes. After twelve hours
the excess of lime will have subsided, and the clear solution
may be drawn off with a syphon as it is required for use, or
transferred to a green glass bottle furnished with a well-
ground stopper." There are four distinct elements which must
be taken account of if this process is to be a success, and these
are the lime, the water, the method of preservation, and
the temperature, and a few remarks on each of these may
not be out of our way. Calcic hjdrate, or hydrated oxide of
lime, consists of CaO combined with H20, the formula being
CaH202. It is prepared by pouriDg on burnt lime as much
distilled water as is required to slake the whole. The large
amount of heat generated in the process is caused by the
lapidity with winch combination between the lime and the
water takes place. Calcic oxide is never obtained quite
pure, and hence the hjdrate is also always more or less

contaminated, the foreign bodi s present being sulphate
and chloride of lime, as well as salts of several other
metals, such as alumina, iron, magnesia, &n. The usual
method employed to get rid of the-e impuiities is to wash
the lime thoroughly with wa'er, which may be accomplished
by shaking uo the mixture or linne and water, and pouring
otf the clear liquid when the lime has subsided, repeating
the process until (he clear liquid, when slight ly acidified
with nitric acid, fails to give precij. i ates wi ll argentic
nitrate and hai ic hydrate. Were ihis ireeaution not taken,
the lime-water would at first be slightly contaminated with
impurities, but tbe-e would in the nature of things shortly
disappear. A much more 1 ertile source of error lies in
another, and it is to be feared, often an unsuspected direc-
tion. Having slaked the lime it is of the utmost
importance to keep it free from the t>ir. The rapidity
with which calcic hydrate absorbs carbonic di-oxide when
exposed to the atm< sphere, is simply amazing, and if
any reader of this paper is in the habit of slaking his lime
in an old h zenge-tin of which the lid has gone amissing,
and thereafter consigning lhe whole as it stands to t he top
shelf in t he back shop, in the belief that being cheap stuff
the lime deserves no better treatmen', there need be little
wonder that the analyst on coming round finds the liquor
calcis lo be lime-water with the line left out. Carbonate
of lime is much less soluble in wate-r than the hydrate,
though it is true that when undisiiiled water is used the
Co2 naturally present will dissolve a proportion of the car-
bonate, but even were it mote soluble, a solution of calcic
carbonate would not be lime-water. It is, therefore, of the
lirst importance that calcic hjdrate should be carefully pre-
served and the air as thoroughly as possible excluded ;
otherwise it will be little short of a miracle if the lime-
water prepared from it is of the pioper strength. It has
been suggested by some that ihe lime should be slaked
every time a fresh quantity of lime-water is made, in
order the more effectually to guard against carbonate being
present, but tnis involves much more time than the pro-
prietors of srmll establishments can afford to bestow upon
it; and further, the writer has fully proved by experience
that if proper precautions are taken one slaking is quite
enough to last for many months.

In addition to the lime, the water demands our atten-
tion. The British Pharmacopoeia directs the use of distilled
water, and it is needless to say that no other should be used.
It is, however, believed to be not an uncommon practice to
use ordinary water, the idea doubtle-s being that the one is
as good as the other. This is certainly not the case, and
only in the rarest possible circumstances should undistilled
water be used. At the same time, we do not hesitate to say
that in many cases ordinarj' water would produce a solution,
of British Pharmacopoeia strength, but unless the water be
of such standard purity as, for example, that of Loch
Katrine with 2 grains of solids per gallon, or that of the
Cumberland lakes with 4 grains, the practice is certainly
reprehensible. Very few natural waters, more especially
spring waters, contain less than 8 grains per gallon of
solids, and even this small quantity has an appreciable
effect on the solvent power of the water, so far as the lime
is concerned. In most cases we might reckon on 25 per cent
of solids being carbonate of lime, and even making full
allowance for the Co2 naturally present, it would be quite
a probable circumstance that 10 per cent, of the water
would be saturated with lime, and if this were so, it would
only require -5 grain of calcic hydrate to saturate the re-
maining 90 per cent, of each oz. In answer to this, it may
of course be pointed out that ihe CaO would combine with
the free Co.,, and that thus all the CaCo., would be precipi-
tated, leaving the water quite free of lime, and in such a
condition that it could take up its full allowance, so to
speak, of calcic hjdrate. It is, however, extremely doubt-
ful whether calcic carbonate is so insoluble as to exert no
influence on the further solvent power of water. The
writer's opinion is that it is to the presence of CaCo.,, rather
than the other salts, that we must look for the difference in
the solvent power over calcic hydrate of ordinary and
distilled waters. These considerations therefore make it J"'
quite clear that distilled water only should be used in the
preparation of lime-water, even were this not expressly
provided for in the Pharmacopoeia.

The method of preservation, no less than the materials

of preparation, has also a considerable influence on the
strength of lime-water. By this is meant, that if it be the
habit of the druggist to keep the lime-water bottle without
a cork for example, or to have it only half full, it will not
be possible for him to have the article of full strength.
Again, if the bottle from which he supplies his customers is
very large, i. <?., over 40 oz., it will of necessity follow that the
lime-water will have deteriorated loDg before he has
reached the bottom, unless, indeed, the sale is parti-
cularly brisk: this result being due to the absorption
of Co2 already referred to, which goes on quite as
rapidly in the solution as it does in the powder. The
practice of the writer in the preparation of this article is as
follows. Having slaked the lime, a quantity — say half a
pound or thereby — is put into each of two half-gallon blue
stoppered bottles. The lime is well washed and the bottles
tilled up with distilled water, well shaken and set in a cool
place. The shop-bottle, an orcinary 40-oz. clear glass
stoppered round, is filled by decantation or nitration from
the two stock-bottles alternately, these being immediately
refilled with distilled water. This is continued for two or
three weeks, and then the lime is renewed as before. This
process is quite satisfactory, the product being frequently
Tested and invariably found to correspond with the British
Pharmacopoeia standard (with certain exceptions to be pre-
sently referred to). The contents of the shop-bottle are also
repeatedly examined, and in only the rarest instances has
any deficiency been noted in the amount of Cat) present.

There ia another and very frequent source of difficulty,
though the resulting variations in the product are not by
any means so serious as those which are brought about by
the causes already noticed. This consists in the changes of
temperature, which not unfrequently produce a marked
effect on the strength of lime-water. It has been already
pointed out that the British Pharmacopeia recognises only
one temperature for lime-water, viz., 60° F., and states the
solubility at that temperature to be -56 grain CaO in each
fluid oz. (as a matter of fact, it ought to be a shade more,
say *561, but the former is near euough for all practical
purposes). Curiously enough, lime is one of the few sub-
stances in nature which are more soluble in cold than in
hot water, and a very slight rise in temperature is suffi-
i cient to demonstrate this fact very clearly. It has been
jstated that a difference of ten degrees makes a difference of
something like 10 per cent, in the increasing insolubility of
calcic hydrate, i.e., whereas at 60° F., the solubility is -56
grain per oz., it falls on reaching 70° F. to 504 grain ; but this
sthe writer thinks must be a mistake. So far as his experience
■goes, even 5 per cent, is over the mark, and we must go a
long way up the thermometric scale if we wish to find a diffe-
rence of 10 per cent. At the same time there is a considerable
difference, even at 65° F., and as on many of our summer
days, not to speak of winter evenings, with their suffo-
cating heat in the upper regions of ill-ventilated shops, the
temperature goes much above 65°, or even 70°, it is some-
times next to impossible to supply a lime-water of British
Pharmacopie'a strength. Neven heless, by judicious arrange-
ments, the use of cellars and such like, even this may
usually be accomplished.

; Most of us know little of the antipodes pharmaceuti-
':ally, save from the occasional letters of the corre-
spondents of The Chemist and Druggist in Melbourne
Wl elsewhere ; but this we do know, lhat. in the "Queen
bt the South" the heat often reaches 90' in the shade,
Vhile in other less favoured districts the thermometer
ndicates a much higher temperature. What the effect of
his on some drugs may be we cannot be quite certain, but
We may feel pretty sure that the lime-water there cannot
te so strong as the British Pharmacopoeia requires it to be.
3ut the difference is not so great after all, and it may sur-
prise a good many decent druggists to learn that the
lajorityof the samples of lime water referred to at the
beginning of this paper would not pass muster for the
ermine article, even on the very hottest of Riverina days.
I The solubility of lime at different temperatures has not,
o far as the writer is aware, been thoroughly investigated,
'ut his experiments go to show that the following are some-
jiii»g like the figures at the lower temperatures. At 60°
ahr., each ounce of water dissolves calcic hjdrate equal to
')('> grain CaO ; at 65° Fahr., 54 grain ; at 70° Fahr.,
139 grain ; at 75°, 526 grain ; from 80° to 100°, -52 grain,

and we require to go a long way up before the figures drop
below -5.

The lessons to be learned from all these facts are suf-
ficiently obvious, in so far as this particular preparation is
concerned. It is imperative that calcic hydrate, and not a
mixture of calcic hjdrate and calcic carbonate, be used ; it
is essential that distilled water be employed ; it is desirable
that the stock-bottles be kept cool, and that as little air as
possible be admitted into them ; and further, that the shop-
bottle be not placed in the path of the sun's rajs, or on the
higher shelves of badly- ventilated shops. If these things be
attended to, we shall never again hear of lime-wafer pro-
secutions, and if the public do not recognise any difference
in the value of the article supplied, the druggist will have
this consolation, that he has a "conscience void of offence"
so far as his lime-water is concerned.

PEITENKOFER ON CHOLERA.

'THE following remarks by the German Hvgienist Petteo-
J_ kofer are interesting for their expression of views at
variance with those of Professor Tyndall in his recent le'ters
to the papers, and held by most authorities in this country.

The epidemic propagation of cholera is depmde.it not
only upon the distribution of the iofec ious substance
bj- intercourse and traffic, but equally (1) upon susceptibility
of the locality in'o which the infection may happen to have
been imported, and (2) upon individual susceptibili'y. A
number of p'aces, and even large cities, in spite of an im-
portation of the infection, have again and again withstood
any extensive dissemination of the epidemic. Some places
exhibit a chronic susceptibility for the disease, which is the
case in India, the birth-place of cholera, where the mor-
tality of those inflicted varies with the season, or in other
words, cholera assumes a deadly or mild form, according as
the season is favourable or not for its development.

It is a mistake to suppose that the only source of the in-
fection is the cholera patients themselves, or what they have
touched or worn. Doctors and nursas in cholera hospitals
do not as a rule catch the disease, whereas on the other
hand an outbreak of cholera has often been observed in
places where it was proved that no contagion had taken
place. This was the case in Mai' a in 1815. This
little island, from the moment the outbreak of caolera
was telegraphed from Alexandria, was placed under a most
vigilant quarantine, which went s > far that any persons from
Malta who were obliged to communicate personally with the
ships in quarantine (lj'ing off an i-land isolated from Malta
itself) were not allowed to return to Malta In spite of
tins extreme vigilance, cho'era broke out in Malta with a
severity neither greater nor less than in other years.

Cleanliness of body, houses, and streets, is the best pre-
ventive of cholera. A chronic disposition for cholera
depends a good deal upon the drinking-water.

Differences in age, temperament, bodily condition, &c,
have a great influence on individual susceptibility for most
diseases and epidemics, and more especially cholera. The
chief thing during a cholera epidemic is to avoid any diet
likely to cause diarrhoea, and should an attack of simple
diarrhoea occur not to neglect it,, but at once to call in
medical advice.

There is no great danger in nursing a cholera-patient when
removed from the infectious place, since not from the patient
but in the place lies the danger of an infection. — Neue

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[August 15, 1883.

PHOTOGRAPHY.

Paper read before the Chemists' Assistants' Association by
Me. C. F. Wyatt.

THE influence of light in altering the colour of bodies
appears to have been noticed from the earliest times,
but it is only within recent years that this property has
been put to any practical use.

Scheele, in 1777, showed the change that takes place in the
salts of silver, and also the dissimilar effects of the different
rays of light in producing this change. He says : — " Fix a
glass prism at the window, and let the refracted sunbeams
fall on the floor ; in this coloured light put a paper strewed
with horn silver, and it will be noticed that the silver grows
black sooner in the violet than in any of the other rays."

Ritter, in 1801, proved the existence of rays beyond the
visible violet ones, which had the property of rapidly
blackening chloride of silver.

The first attempt to utilise these effects in order to obtain
permanent impressions of objects appears to have been made
in 1802, when Wedgwood published "an account of a
method of copying paintings upon glass, and of making
profiles, by the agency of light upon nitrate of silver."
This consisted of white paper or leather moistened with a
solution of nitrate of silver. He says, when the shadow of
a figure is thrown on this prepared surface, the part con-
cealed by it remains white, while other parts become
blackened. After the colour has been once fixed on the
leather or paper it cannot be removed by washing with
water. No method of rendering these impressions per-
manent by removing the unaltered salts of silver was then
known, and the pictures could only be examined in a very
subdued light. This crude system is practically the one
which is now in use to obtain ordinary photographic prints,
they being copied from a negative on glass, by placing the
prepared paper at the back, and allowing the light to pass
through the negative. In this way, of course, a reversed or
positive picture is obtained, the light blackening the paper
beneath, more or less, in proportion to the obstruction of the
negative.

In 18li7 Niepce gave an account of a process to which he
gave the name of " Heliograpby." He coated a plate of
glass or a tablet of silver with a varnish made by dissolving
asphaltum in oil of lavender, and drying it by gentle heat.
This was exposed in the camera for from six to eight hours,
after whicli it was placed in a mixture of oil of lavender
and oil of petroleum, by which the parts unacted on by light
were dissolved, leaving the picture with the appearance of
an etching. This was a very tedious process, and the long
exposure required produced great " blurring " in the image,
as the shadows would, of course, move considerably in the
space of eight hours.

The first process which was put to practical use was that
of Daguerre, published in 1839.

A sheet of copper thick enough to keep perfectly flat was
plated with silver, thoroughly cleaned and polished, and
then exposed to the vapour of iodine for a variable time,
according to the temperature — usually from five minutes to
half an hour. This gave the plate a thin coating of iodide
of silver, and, this being the sensitive surface, it must of
course be kept from any light that would have any effect on
it. For this purpose the windows of the room should be
glazed with yellow or orange coloured glass, which effectu-
ally prevents any light injuriously affecting the plate. It
is now exposed in the camera. The length of time which
should be allowed for this of course varies with the intensity
of the light, and can only be learnt by experience.

Even now there is only wl at is called by the somewhat
vague term of an invisible image impressed on the plate. In
order to render it visible it requiies developing. This is
effected in the Daguerrotype process by exposing it to the
vapour of mercury, this being deposited only on those parts
which have been acted on by light. In order to prevent
any lurther action of light the plate is placed in a weak
solution of hyposulphite of soda, which dissolves the
unaltered iodide of silver, and on washing it the picture is
quite unchangeable by light; but the slightest friction
destroys it, as will be readily understood, the image being

formed by the adherence of globules of mercury to the
surface of the silver.

In addition to the great length of time required in this
process there is the additional disadvantage that a single
picture only can be produced at a time. A further improve-
ment consisted in first taking a negative picture, that is, a
picture having the lights and shadows reversed. From this
any number of positives could be obtained. Paper was first
employed for this purpose, being rendered transparent after
the picture was taken by means of a thin coating of white
wax, afterwards glass plates coated with albumen. The use
of glass plates for the production of a negative led to the
introduction of collodion as a vehicle for suspending the
sensitive salts of silver, and this process, known as the
collodion process, has been, and still is, extensively used.

A clean glass'plate is coated with collodion, containing
in solution an iodide, bromide, or a mixture of the two, by
pouring it on the plate and allowing it to flow gently over,
and then draining back any excess. This, when the collodion
has just set, is immersed in a solution of nitrate of silver
for a few minutes ; by this means iodide of silver in a very
minute state of division is formed in the film. It has now
to be exposed while still wet to the action of light in the
camera, from ten to twenty seconds being usually sufficient.
The development is quite different from that used for the
daguerrotype. Usually a solution of ferrous sulphate acidu-
lated with acetic acid is used. In some cases pyro^allic
acid is used, instead of the iron developer. The solution is
poured over the plate and kept moving, in order to prevent
any unequal action, until the image has sufficient density,
when the developer is washed off. To prevent the further
action of light upon the plate it is fixed with a solution of
cyanide of potassium or of hyposulphite of soda ; in each
case a soluble double salt is formed with the unaltered
silver.

I have a decided preference for the cyanide of potassium,
that acting much more quickly than the hyposulphite of
soda, besides being less liable to decomposition. It will be
understood that these operations should be conducted in a
light which does not affect the plate. For these wet plates
light passing through ordinary yellow glass is safe to work by.

After the plate has been fixed, it should be thoroughly
washed, by flowing water over it, to remove all traces of the
solutions used, and may then be dried and varnished.

The drawbacks to this process are chiefly the short interval
that can only be allowed between sensitising the plate and
exposure in the camera, and between this and development,
not more than a few minutes between each operation ; as,
should the plate partially dry, the nitrate of silver left on
the surface of the plate crystallises and causes a number of
small spots to be spread over the picture.

For an amateur this process is very inconvenient, owing
to the necessity of carrying all the apparatus required for
preparing and developing the plates at the time of exposure.

The dry-plate process overcomes this difficulty, as a much
longer interval can be allowed between exposure and
development.

In collodion dry plates it is usual to give the plate a pre-
liminary coating of gelatine or albumen, otherwise the
collodion film will not adhere sufficiently to bear the sub-
sequent operations. Over this substratum the collodion is
applied and sensitised in the usual way. The film should
now be thoroughly washed, to free it from all traces of
nitrate of silver or other soluble salts, and what is known
as a preservative applied. Various substances are used for
this purpose, such as tannic or gallic acid, gelatine, coffee,
&c. ; sometimes sugar being added to assist the action of the
developer by rendering the film more readily permeated by
it. A final coating of alhumen is given to protect the plate
from atmospheric influences. These plates are rather less
sensitive than the ordinary wet collodion ones, but are far
more convenient to use, as all operations requiring cumber-
some apparatus can be performed at home.

Emulsion processes next require description. The collo-
dion emulsion process is a modification of the one just
described, the sensitive salt of silver being suspended in
the collodion previous to coating the plate. In other respects
it does not differ ma'erially.

I have now given a necessarily rapid sketch of the chief
processes which have, until recently, been principally in use,
but there are many others which differ slightly from those

AND DRUGGIST.

described, but which are in principle essentially the same.
Of the next process, viz., the gelatine emulsion process, I
hope to give a more minute account. It is, I believe, the
one most extensively used at the present time, and is more
easily worked than any of the precsding ones.

Both in preparing and developing these plates great care
should be taken with regard to the light used. The ordi-
nary yellow light, which is perfectly safe for the collodion
plates, would rapidly " fog," or blacken, these more sensitive
ones. Most of the work can be done at night by the use of
a lantern with deep ruby glass.

There are almost, endless formula; for gelatine emulsions,
but they may be divided into two classes, those prepared
with and without ammonia.

In those prepared without ammonia, a solution is made of
gelatine and a soluble bromide, usually potassium or am-
monium bromide, with in some cases an iodid" or chloride, or
both, and while warm a solution of nitrate of silver added
in nearly sufficient quantity to decompose the whole of the
bromide, the object being to obtain bromide of silver in as
fine a state of division as possible. The emulsion should
now be kept liquid by heat for a varying time, this depend-
ing chiefly on the temperature used, as the higher this is the
shorter time is required. It is well not to use a very great
heat, as the gelatine loses to some extent its property of
setting if kept long at a. high temperature. A plan has
been recommended of heating the emulsion at a low tem-
perature with a portion only of the gelatine, afterwards
adding the remainder; this prevents, as far as possible, the
risk of decomposition.

For plates prepared with ammonia either a solution of
ammonio-nitrate of silver is used, or ammonia, ad led to the
emulsion after the bromide has been added. Both ways are
very much quicker than the boiliDg process, but great care
should betaken that the temperature does not rise too high :
it should never exceed 105° Fabr., as the gelatine speedily
decomposes in the presence of ammonia, and of course more
readily when heated. It is only necessary to keep the emul-
sion liquid for about a quarter of an hour. After the
emulsion has set, it should be thoroughly washed. A good
plan is to squeeze it under water through some coarse
canvas : in this way it is very quickly freed from the soluble
salts. Other plans can be adopted. Merely cutting into
small pieces and allowing it to soak in water frequently
changed is sufficient; but it takes much longer. On re-
dissolving this with heat, and straining through a clean
piece of chamois leather, it is ready for coating the plates.
This is the most difficult of all the operations. With collo-
dion it is comparatively easy to get an even coating, as the
film so quickly dries ; but with gelatine in is very much
more difficult. The solution has first to be spread as evenly
as possible over the plate, and this latter has then to be
placed on a perfectly level surface until the gelatine has set,
when it is placed in the drying-box. If the plate is not
kept quite level the coating is thicker at one end of the
plate than at the other, and there is a corresponding dif-
ference in the density of the picture. The drying-box is
merely a light-tight box, through which a current of air is
made to pass. In this way the plates dry in about twelve
hours.

When only a few plates are wanted a useful way is to use
an ordinary box fitted with shelves, and having at the
bottom a tray of chloride of calcium, or similar substance.
'Ibis answers perfectly, but is somewhat tedious, as the
plates take about a week to dry thoroughly.

Almost any degree of rapidity can be obtained with this
process by varying the length of time the emulsion is heated.
As a rule, the longer it is heated the more sensitive is the
;resulting emulsion, but it is very doubtful if it is of much
advantage to use a very rapid plate, except in special cases
'when objects are in motion. A slow plate is much more
easily developed, and more latitude can be givea in the
jlengih of time it is exrjosed than is the case with a very
rapid plate.

The manufacture of these gelatine dry plates is very
troublesome, and as they can be bought ready for use at a
reasonable price, I should strongly recommend anyone not
to make them. I have merely given the process as I think
it would be advantageous for everyone to know a little
about it. I have made some myself, but shall probably not
epeat it, except as an experiment, as the plates cost rather

more than they could have been bought for, besides re-
quiring on an average about an hour's work for each plate
that is fit for use.

The length of exposure required varies according to the
make of plate, some requiring only the fractional part of a
second, others from ten to fifteen seconds. There are various
ways by which very short exposures can be given. Usually it
is by shutters revolving in front of the lens by means of a
spring, or being allowed to fall by their own weight, they
having an opening by which light is admitted through the
lens during their descent. The usual development is by
means of pyrogallic acid with ammonia, but in many cases
a solution of ferrous oxalate is used.

This is made by adding a saturated solution of ferrous
sulphate to a saturated solution of neutral oxalate of
potassium, or a better way is to dissolve freshly-precipitated
oxalate of iron in a carefully-neutralised solution of oxalate
of potassium by the aid of heat, and after the solution has
cooled and deposited any excess of ferrous oxalate it should
be made slightly acid by adding citric acid (about a grain
to an ounce). This oxalate developer has this advantage,
that it is possible to use it more than once, and it is, in the
hands of a beginner, more manageable. It is particularly
suited for transparencies, as the deposit is not of such a
brown colour as it is when the pyrogallic acid developer is
used. For negatives, however, I prefer the latter.

Printing, as it is termed, that is, obtaining a positive
picture from a negative, is usually done on paper, and it is
the same by whatever process the negative is obtained. The
paper is first prepared by coating it with albumen contain-
ing chloride of solium, and sensitised by floating for a few
minutes on a strong solution of nitrate of silver ; this when
dry is ready for use. The negative is placed in a printing-
frame, with the prepared paper at the back, and exposed to
light ; the progress of the printing can be seen without
altericg the position, by turning back half of the frame.
It must be allowed to become a little darker than the
finished print is to be, as the subsequent operations of toning
and fixing partially remove the colour. When printed
deeply enough it is of a brown'sh-red colour. To change it
to the purple colour generally seen in the finished print, it
is washed, in order to remove free nitrate of silver, and
then placed in a "toning" bath, composed usually of chloride
of gold and acetate of soda, by which the desired colour, or
" tone," is obtained. It is fixed by means of a solution
of hyposulphite of soda, the strength usually recommended
being 4 oz. to the pint, the print being kept moving in lis
for about ten minutes. I use myself a solution half this
strength, and allow the print to remain in from twenty
minutes to half an hour. I find that less change takes place
in the colour of the finished print, and also there is no
liability to the formation of blisters on the surface, as is
the case when the strong solution is used.

It is most essential, in order that the prints may not
change, that the whole of the hyposulphite of soda used in
fixing them be removed. Washing-trays can be obtained by
which they are kept moving, and the water changed fre-
quently, by mechanical means ; but an ordinary large tray or
dish answers every purpose if a little trouble is taken with
it. It is well to give each print a preliminary wash under
the tap, and then allow it to soak in water for about twelve
hours, the water being changed by allowing a stream to
constantly flow into it. Care must be taken that too many
prints are not washed at the same time, otherwise they stick
together, and then it is impossible to wash them properly.
Too great care cannot be taken in this, as the least trace of
hyposulphite left in the print inevitably causes dis-
coloration.

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[August 15, 1883.

Pkcsecution under the Seventeenth Sbctiok of the
Pharmacy Act, 1803.

At ib^ ClerkenweJl Police Court on Thursdav, July 20
l» fore Mr. Barstow, Edward Knight, gold and silver refiner.
29a arid 30a Percival Si.reet, Clerkenwell, London, E.C.. wps
cha ged on two summonses (1) for having sold to Allied
Wright, Assistant-Secretary of the Chemists and Drugg'sts'
Tr;i ;e Association of Great Bri'ain, a ccrta;n poison, t« wit,
cyanide of potassium, in a certain packet, the cover of
which picktt did not Set forth 'he name of the poison, and
the name and address of the seller of ihe same ; (2) thai 'he
said sale was effected, the purchaser being unknown to the
seller and not introduced to the seller, in coDttavention of
the statute in such ca-e made and provided.

Mr. Henry Glaisycr, sdiei'or of the Chemists and Drug-
gists'Trade Association, appeared for the prosecution, and
defendant appeared in person.

The defendant pleaded guilty. A fine of 50.?. and cost*
was inflicted on the first summons, and 5*. and costs on the
second.

The Society of Apothecaries v. Peabson.
This was a case tried at the Southwark County Court on
August 3, before H. Holroyd, Esq., Q C, Judge, to recover
the penalty of 207. for alleged infringement of the Apothe-
caries' Act, 1815. The hearirjg of the case occupied nearly
five hours. Mr. H. 11. Hodson. instructed by Mr. C. J. 0.
Pridham, appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. J. W. C.
Washington represented the defendant.

Before the case was opened Mr. Washington said he had
to submit two or three technical objection First, he urged
that the Court had not the power to try cases under ( tie
Apothecaries' Act. That Act, passed in 1815, by section 215,
provided that prosecutions for infringements must he
brought in one of His Majesty's Courts of Record. County
f\>uns did not become Courts of Record until the 9 & 10
Victoria.

His Honour pointed out that it had been held that, any
action which could be brought in the Westrnios'er Courts
could be brought in a County Court, and he cited a < ase
where it bad been specifically settled that a ra'e could be
n covered by process in the County Court.

Mr. Washington said that was so in regard to debts or
demands, but this was neither one nor the other.

Mr. Hodson said a similar objection had teen raised in
the case of the Apothecaries' Company v. Burt, tried in 1850,
but it had been ruled that the objection could not be
maintained.

After some further discussion. His Honour decided that
he had jurisdiction, bat took note of Mr. Washington'.,
ot j'ction.

The learned Judge also overruled, but took note of, tsvo
other objections ra'sed by Mr. Washington. One was that
by the last stction <f the Act twenty-one days' notice of
wrong done under the Act was necessary, and that in this
cas-j no notice whatever had been given, and the other was
that the company had sued for only one penalty, but that in
the particulars served they had named three cases on which
they had intended to proceed, and had added "and divers
other persons." They were, in fact, going on a fishing
expedition. In regard to this. His Honour said he must
strike out the words "divers other persons/" as the defendant
migbl be prejudiced by having to answer charges of which
no particulars had been served. Mr. Hodson made formal
objection to His Honour's ruling in this respect, in case
material evidence should be excluded. The learned Judge,
however, declined to call upon the plaintiffs to elect one
case to proceed upon, as Mr. Washington desired.

Mr. Hods-n briefly opened the case, sa\irg the defendant
was a chert it aD(i druggist, and that he should call evi-
dence which he thought would satisfy the C mrt that he
had acted as an apothecary. As a detiniiion of the acts of
an apothecary, he quoted from Mr. Justice Cresswell's
summing-up in the case of the Apothecaries' Company v.
L t.irga, that "an apothecary is a person who professes to
judge of internal disease by its symptoms, and applies him-
self to cure that disease by medicines." He was confident
that the evidence he should put before the Court would
prove that the defendant had acted as an apothecary,
according to this definition.

Frances Woodcraft, 29 Commercial Road, Blacl<f n'ars, said
she had known the defendant, who keeps a chemist's shop
ar. 104 Stamford Street, about two years. In December,
18S2, her bay, eight years of age, was ill. She cdled on
«1> iVndant, and asked hirn to call round and see him. He
raHed.

Did he examine him ?

Mr. Washington objected to such ^a leading question, arid
witness was asked what defendant did. She said the
de.fi ndant did examine the child, applying his ear to his
chest and feeling bis pulse. He then said there was nothing
t> be alarmed at, but that if the child's breathing became
wome she might apply a mustard poultice. She sent to
defendant's shop for some medicine, according to his
appointment. The defendant paid a second visit the next
day. There were directions on the bottle how the medicine
was to be taken, but she had not kept the bottle. She did
not know the nature of the medicine supplied. The child
grew worse, and she cal'eil in Dr. Seymour, who found the
child suffering from measles and inflammation of both
lungs.

Cross examined : She had told Mr. Pearson she believed
the child had measles. Did not know whether hp recom-
mended the mustard p >ultiee for the measles Her husband
was a labouring man, earning 2o*. a week. Mr. Pearson had
never sent in any bill. Dr. Seymour had not tak<-n down
her statement. Defendant did not advise her to call in a
qualified medical man. She did no', remember exactly what
she had said to Mr. Pearson when she a-ked him to see the
child. She had noticed a ras'i on his chest in the morning
of the day. Did not mect'on t he rash to Mr. Pearson, hut
showed the child. Told him she thought he had measles.

Rose Mitchell, living at Peabody Buildings, Duke Street,
Blackfiiars, said the defendant had attended her in her
confinement ia April, 1882. He had prescribed for her one
draught only, which had bfen sent from his shrp. She did
not know the nature of the draught. In September, 1882,
the child was very ill. She called in defendant, who
attended at her residence on more than one occasion and
supplied medic'nes of which she did not know the nature.
The three bottles (produced) were what she received from
him. Each bore the directions, "One teaspoonful to be
taken every four hours." Defendant had told her that the
child w,as only suffering from cow-pox. Defendant attended
the child about a fortnight, but it became worse and she
called in Dr. Seymour.

In cross-examination witness said thechi'd was vaccira'ed
on ihe 6th and again on th"? 11th of September, and the
illness all came through the vaccination. Defendant had
refused t > make any charge.

Re-examined by Mr. Hodson, she said she had expected to
pay, and had ofer.-d him money. She had understood his
midwifery fee was 15s. Believed he was a f ully quali-'ed
medical man.

Georgina Flusher, Princes S;reet, Stamford Street, was
asked if she had a child nimed Annie Flddier. She said she
had, and that that chi'd was seven years old. Mr. Pearson
did not attend Annie Flusher in November, 1882, but had
attended a younger chil l, named Florae Flusher.

Mr. Washington said tl e charge agaicst defendant was of
having attended Annie Flusher, and he objected to evidence
in relation to Florrie F.u-her, but the learned judge said he
sliould allow the amendment, as he did not see how the
defendant could be prejudiced, the child having been in the
same family.

Mr. Washington sa'd he should have to ask for an
adjournment.

Witness sa:d defendant had attended Florrie six or seven
times. Had told her the child was suffering from bronchitis,

and had supplied several bottles of medicine. She did not
know what, the bottles contained. Had allowed defendant
to judge what medicine he would send. The child grew
worse, and »he afterwards called in Dr. Seymour. She had
paid money to defendant, but did not remember how much.

Cross-examined : Dr. Seymour had asked her who had
attended the child. The child had been vaccinated. She
did not know when. To her knowledge no one else had
seen the child. On Dr. Cannock being asked to stand up,
witness said she did not know she had ever seen him before.
She explained, however, that being out for about twenty
minutes one day when the child was ill, her other daughter
had told her when she returned that a gentleman from Mr.
Pearson had called to see the child.

Mr. Washington said that the plaintiffs nad given names
in the particulars served, but had refused to furnish details
of dates or to say whether the persons attended were
children. He asked for an adjournment, as until they heard
the evidence they did not know what they had to answer,
and could not tell in all cases by whom the children had
been attended. The application was refused.

John Rusby Seymour, physician and surgeon and apothe-
cary, gave particulars of the thres cases referred to. Mrs.
Woodcroft's child had measles, and although not declared
when he first saw him, the diagnosis was quite easy. Rose
Mitchell's child suffered from pharyngitis or in (lamination of
the throat, and had no symptoms of cow-pox. It g>>t well
in three days. Mrs. Flusher's child also suffered from
pharyngitis, and had no symptoms of bronchitis. The child
got well in about a week.

Cross-examined: Was Dr. or Mr., whichever the counsel
preferred Became qualified in 188 L. and had practised in
that neighbourhood sine 3. Did not think he was bound to
answer whether he had given information. Mr. Pearson
was there when he came to the neighbourhood. D d not
know that he was public vaccinator. D,d not know that 1 e
had a midwifery licence. The certificate of his competence
from a surgeon said nothing-. Registia'ion as a surgeon
dentist might ody mean that he had practised as such before
the passing of the Act. Vaccination was rot more likely
to be successful in a child under three months than above.
The only reason for the statute fixing three months was that
the earlier the vaccination was performed the greater was
the protection to the public.

For the defence Mr. Washington quoted largely from a
non-legal report of the Sbepperley case, referring to the
, evidence of the witnesses who proved the custom of the trade
before 1815, and reading passages from the speech of Sir
Henry James, and from the summing up of Mr. Baron
Pollock.

Mr. Hodson said that Shepperley's case decided nothing.
The verdict was givun in favour of the defendant because
the jury did not find the act sufficiently proved. Since then
a case had come before Mr. Motteram, Q.C., at the Birming-
ham County Court, who had given full consideration to the
Shepperley case, and had decided for the plaintiffs.

Mr. Washington went on to argue that the duties of an
apothecary were defined in the Ac', and he urged that Mr.
Pearson tad not done more than he was allowed to do. He
•was a public vaccinator, was authorised to attend mid-
wifery cases, and to act as a dentist. He was also a registered
chemist and druggist, and was a perpetual student of medi-
cine at the Westminster Hospital School of Medicine. He
is a person to whom some eighty or one hundred persons go
daily for certain compound medicines, and he had a right,
is the Sh°pperley case showed, to give them medicine for
slight ailments. In serious cases he always referred them to
^ualiried medical men. Having quoted the evidence respect-
ing the alleged sore throat in the Sheppeiley case, when the
lefendant, it was said, had looked into the throat, he said
lis client had done no more than this.

His Honour said that if a man went into a chemist's shop
ind showed a bad tongue, and was advised to have a box of
Jockle's pills, there would not be any "acting as an apothe-
:ary "; but in this case the defendant had examined the child
,t the bedside.

Mr. Washington said there was no difference whether the
examination was made in his shop or in the patient's house,
"■he st rongest case was the case of measles, and there he
d suggested a mustard poultice to relieve the child's
realhing. He was sure the Court would not deprive the

poor of the benefit which they derived from being able to
obtain medicines at the chemists for the relief of the slight
ailments of themselves or their children. In the o'her
cases he had only given medicine for the results of vaccina-
tion, which, as the public vaccinator, he had a right to treat,
and in the last case he had acted under the advice of a
qualified medical man.

Charles Thomas Pearson was then sworn. He said he was
a registered chemist and druggist at 104 Stamford S reef,
He was a registered dentist, a perpetual student of medicine,
public vaccinator, was certified to attend cases of mid-
wifery. There was a school of chemistry and pharmacy
carried on at his premises. He had been twenty years in
business. Examined specifically on the cases brought for-
ward, he said Mrs. Woodcroft had asked him to send her
the usual medical compound for measles. It was she, ani
not he, who said the child had measles. He did net recollec*
having visited that child a second time. In the other cases
he had only given medicines for t he effects of vaccination.
Dr. Cannock had seen Mrs. Flusher's child, and he had
simply carried out his (the doctor's) instructions. He had
visited the child in the first place, because Mrs. Flusher had
run after him as he was going along Stamford Street, and
bad asked him to come to her child who was in a fit. He
had gone with her, undressed the child, put it in a bath,
and remained till it got better. It was merely a case of
emergency. Afterwards Dr. Cannock had examined the
child and had told him what to supply. If he ever advised
medicines he never charged for them. Serious cases he
always referred to doctors. He mentioned Messrs. Kane,
Richardson, Dr. Jones, Vauzhall Bridge Road, Dr. Scott,
Lambeth Walk, Mr. Spratt, Brook Street, as doctors to
whom he often referred cases.

Mr. Washington : And others with the exception of Dr.
Seymour ? — I send cases to Dr. Seymour also.

Cross-examined: He kept no books. His business was
entirely a ready-money busine:-s. Had no entries anywhere
of any of the attendances named by the witnesses. If he
had charged Mrs. Flusher anything he must have guessed at
what amount she owed him. Had no records except of
midwifery and dentistry cases. Did not remember going a
second time to see Mrs. Woodcroft's child. Would not
swear he did not go a second time. When he went the first
time dii not kaow what she wanted. Was bound bylaw
to go when he was sent for. He knew what were the
duties of a registered chemist and druggist. They were to
supply medical compounds and drugs, patent medicines, and
proprietary articles. A perpetual student of medicine was
one who was entitled to attend lectures and hospital
practice until he had passed his examinations. He was not
entitled to visit patients and prescribe for them as a medical
man, nor as an apothecary, but he might as a perpetual
student of medicine. The money received from Mrs.
Flusher, he supposed, was for medicines prescribed by
Dr. Cannock. The witness was then cross examined rather
sharply concerning other persons whom he was alleged to
have visited. Some he remembered, others he had forgotten.
One he had atti nded " with another doctor," but he was not
sure with whom. He had a great many doctors come to his
place. Thirty a day sometimes. He did not have " arrange-
ments " with them. They came for various purposes.
Sometimes to see materia medica specimens, someiimes to
see bones, sometimes to see books.

Mr. C. W. Cannock, licentiate of the Collage of Physicians
and Surgeons of Glasgow, and licentiate of the Society of
Apothecaries, residing at Stratford, had known Mr. Pearson
several years, and had at times visited cases at his request.
He had seen Mrs. Flusher's child, and had told Mr. Pearson
what to give it. He had been introduced to Mr. Pearson by
a student at the school carried on at his premises. In cross-
examination this witness explained that a perpetual student
was one who paid a composition fee for the whole medical
curriculum.

Mr. Spratt, a licentiate of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons of Glasgow, residing at Brook Street, Grosvenor
Square, had also had patients sent him by Mr. Pearson, but
amid 2,500 names on his books he could not recall the
particulars of any one case.

After a few words from Mr. Hodson, His Honour asked
Mr. Washington if he desired to take the legal points raised
to a higher court. That gentleman was not prepared then

to ask for a case, and the Judge said he must hold that the
defendant had acted as an apothecary. Judgment for the
plaintiffs with costs.

Lawson v. Lawson.

In the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice,
before Mr. Justice Watkins Williams, on July 24, the action
Lawson v. Lawson was heard. It was a case in which the
plaintiff, Mr. W. J. Lawson, of Whitstable, claimed the sum
of 110/. from the defendant, Mr. E. J. Lawson, chemist, his
cousin, he (plaintiff) being the holder of promissory-notes
for that amount from the defendant. The latter pleaded
that the money was his aunt's (Miss Ann Lawson), that it
was advanced to him by her or under her instructions, that
he had since repaid it, and that he held the receipt for such
repayment. In the opinion of the learned judge, however,
the plaintiff was in possession of a negotiable security which
had not been satisfied, and he therefore instructed the jury
to find for the plaintiff. Judgment was entered accordingly.

Claim for Compensation.

On July 19, before the Recorder (Sir Thomas Chambers,
Q.C., M.P.) and a special jury at the Guildhall, Mr. Albert
Domeier brought a claim against the Metropolitan and
Metropolitan District Railway (City Lines and Extensions)
Joint Committee of 2,605/., as compensation for loss of his
lease and disturbance of business in consequence of his
premises being required. Mr. Willis, Q.C., M.P., appeared
for Mr. Domeier, and Mr. Philbrick, Q.C., and Mr. Knipe
for the railway companies. Mr. Domeier held the premises
on a lease from the Vintners' Company at a yearly rental of
841, He had bought the lease when it had nine years to
run for 1,100/., and when he had notice in October, 1882, the
lease had only two years to rue But it was claimed that
he had a reasonable prospect of getting a renewal of the
lease. He had spent about 3001, in fixtures, &c. Now he
had premises at St. Mary-at-Hill, which, it was urged, were
not so well situate for his business, and were much dearer.
The removal cost him SOL, and breakages he estimated at
35/. His stock was worth 10,000/. Mr. J. R. Caisell (of the
firm of Fuller, Horsey, Sons & Cassell), Mr. R. A. Ellis (of
the firm of R. Ellis & Son), and Mr. J. M. Klenck (of Bishops-
gate Street), all surveyors, gave evidence in support of the
claim. Mr. H. Carnan, accountant, of Walbrook, showed
that plaintiff's receipts from February to April, 1883, were
5,736/.; while in the same period in 1882 they were 8.233Z.
The percentage of net profits in 1881 was rather over 3 per
cent. ; the gross returns in 1881 were 150,186/. The accounts
for 1882 were not complete. Mr. Willis said the uncontra-
dicted witnesses as to the value of the premises agreed
that the value of lease, removal, &c, amounted to 642/., and
he urged the jury to give compensation for the loss of busi-
ness and for the additional rent the plaintiff had now to
pay. Mr. Philbrick, for the company, said that the property
was not required for the railway, but for the street
improvement. Values had been inflated in that neigh-
bourhood in consequence of the coming of the railway.
The premises had lived their life, and it was only a
matter of the plaintiff removing two quarters earlier than
he would otherwise have had to do. He estimated the
capitalised value of the remnant of his lease as 2601, less
100/. for repairs = 160/. ; add 10 per cent, for forced sale,
16/.; fixtures, 4.21. 10s. ; rent, leases for the last half-year,
50Z. ; and 100Z. loss by removal ; together, 368/. 10s. After
the Recorder had summed up, the jury, without leaving the
box, returned a verdict for 500/.

Analysts on Mustard.

A mustard case was heard at Stow-in-the-Wold, on July ID.
A grocer, named Davis, was summoned on the certificate of
Mr. John Horsley, of Cheltenham, who stated that the
sample remitted to him contained 30 per cent, of wheat
flour coloured with turmeric. The mustard sold was
Colman's, and on their behalf a certificate from Mr. Sutton,
of Norwich, was put in, stating that the mustard contained
i)0 per cent, of pure brown and white mustard flour and
10 per cent, of wheat flour. Mr. Horsley said that his pro-
cess of analysis was by the microscope only. He had heard

of analjsis by ether, but he preferred to cling to the old-
fashioned method. As Mr. Sutton was not present the
bench declined to receive his certificate as evidence, but
they did not consider the case satisfactorily proved, and
dismissed the summons.

The Ownership of a Trade Label.

Last month, in the Chancery Division of the High Court of
Justice in Dublin, before the Master of the Rolls, the case
of McMaster, Hodgson & Co. v. Hayes came up on an inter-
locutory motion. Both parties are engaged in the drug
trade, and some interesting points were raised. Mr. Hugh
Holmes, Q.C., on the part of the plaiatiffs.

Trade Labels.

At Dublin, the case of McMaster, Hodgson & Co. v. William
Hayes has been heard. Mr. Holmes, Q C, on the part of the
plaintiffs, moved for an interlocutory injunction to restrain the
defendant from affixing to any bottles or vessels any labels
containing the words "Warren's Sweet Essence of Rennet,
for makiDg curds and whey," or any other words representing
the label under which the plaintiffs vended that preparation.
An affidavit of Mr. E. M. Hodgson, senior member of the
plaintiffs' firm, stated that when they first manufactured the
sweet essence of rennet, Mr. J. V. Warren was a clerk in
their employment, and had charge of the perfumery and
essence department ; and the plaintiffs adopted the name of
" Warren's Sweet Essence of Rennet," as a trade label, they
Ihemsclves being sole proprietors of the formula of the manu-
facture of the essence. The trade-mark was registered in
1870, and Warren witnessed the signature of the firm to the
certificate of registration. In 1874 Mr. Warren left their em-
ployment and with certain partners had sold the sweet essence
of rennet as their own manufacture. The present plaintiffs-
commenced proceedings to restrain Warren & Co., but the
action was discontinued owing to the dissolution of partner-
ship of Warren & Co. and the winding-up of their business.
In August, 1882, the plaintiffs became aware that the
defendant was selling a preparation called " Warren's Sweet
Essence of Rennet," and on cautioning him not to do so,
Mr. Hayes claimed property in the formula and label as the
assignee of Warren. The Master of the Rolls : Is your case
that the plaintiffs purchased the use of Warren's name?
Mr. Holmes replied in the negative. Mr. Warren's name
was only used in compliment to him. When he left the
plaintiffs' employment he carried with him a book which he
had kept, containing the secret of this and several other
preparations. That, book was purchased by Mr. Hayes as
part of the goodwill of Warren & Co.'s business. Mr.
Jellett, Q.C., claimed that Mr. Warren was the inventor of
this essence, and further stated that the plaintiffs, on being
cautioned by Warren, when the latter was in business for
himself, had discontinued the use of his name, and had
registered a new label, the words of which were " Sweet
Essenca of Rennet," under which they continued to sell
until 1882. In the meantime the defendant purchased
Warren's rights, and registered his label, and the plaintiffs
afterwards commenced again to use the label as ori^ inally
registered in 1870. When the defendant was challenged he
at once asserted his rights, and put the plaintiffs at arm's
length. Counsel submitted that this was not a casein,
which, on the eve of the long vacation, an interlocutory in-
junction should be granted.

The Master of the Rolls, in giving judgment, said : —
This is a most untenable motion, nor has it any element to-
commend it to this Court. The Messrs McMaster, Hodgson
& Co. had in their employment some jears ago a man
named Warren, who appears to have been an ordinary clerk.
As I make out from the evidence Warren would appear to
have been the inventor of this sweet essence of rennet.
I have read the component parts of the recipe which
is before me, and it, is a very ingenious thiDg alto-
gether. Well, the Messrs. McMaster, Hodgson & Co*
made use of this invention of his rightly enough while
he was in their employment, and they clapped on it
the name "Warren's Sweet Essence of Rennet." The
use of Warren's name is a very peculiar thing, and struck
me very early in these proceedings. Why did this firm
prefer that to their own name, a name of great respecta-

bility, no doubt ? Why did they drop their own title well
known to the public and adopt a clerk's name ? That per-
plexed me from the very outset, and I have heard no reason-
able or sufficient explanation offered up to the present,
except the one which is all sufficient, that he, Warren,
invented the preparation, and that the firm, as a sort of com-
pliment to him, made use of his name, and registered their
trade-mark — an appropriate and pretty little trade-mark—
with that name attached. Well, after this Warren stopped
some time in their service. He was a witness to the regis-
tration of the plaintiffs' trade-mark, and while he continued
dn that service the thing was right enough. He was re-
ceiving a recognition of his rights by the firm vending
his preparation under the title of his own name ; but after
a time he left the employment and the relationship therefore
ceased. It is not pretended that the plaintiffs meanwhile
bought from him the right to use his name, or that they
bought from him the invention. Of course, if he was the
inventor of it and they became aware of the invention, he
could not prevent their preparing the compound and vending
it after he left their service; but he not being a partner in
the firm (only a common clerk), after he left bad a clear
right to prevent their usirjg his name at all, and there are
several strong authorities in support of the proposition. He
leaves the plaintiffs' employment, goes away, and se's up in
business for himself, a portion of his business being the
manufacture of tbis very essence, which he sold as " War-
ren's Sweet Essence of Rennet.'' Discovering that the
plaintiffs are using his name in connection with the prepa-
ration, he remonstrates with them, and with what result ?
That they refrained from the use of it for a considerable
period. That is demonstrated before me on the registra-
tion, for after the establishment of Warren's firm of Warren
&. Co., and after Warren's letter of remonstrance against the
plaintiffs continuing to use his name, they re-registered the
trade-mark, " Sweet Essence of Rennet," dropping the name
of "Warren" altogether. That was in 1S76. In 1877
Warren registered his trade mark as '■ Warren's Sweet
Essence of Rennet," and it was identical with the label,
the use of whicti is here sought to be restrained.
The two trade-marks are entirely different. The one is a
cow and a calf ; the other is a globe and a phoenix ; and the
bottles in which the preparations are sold are very similar in
shape, but I have yer, to learn that the law extends
protection to the peculiar formation of a bottle. Admit-
tedly what is here complained of is the til le. Warren's
registration, "Warren's Sweet E:-sence of Rennet," which
was made when the plaintiffs re-registered, dropping the
name " Warren," was purchased by the defendant, and
from the deed before me I find that a very substantial
sum was paid— 150Z. -for that aud some other things.
Having dropped the full title, the plaintiffs, finding, I am
told, their sales falling off, adopted another device : on the
bottles beariDg the label " Sweet Essence of Rennet,''
they struck a second label, " Warren's Genuine Sweet
Essence of Rennet." That was a clear invasion of Warren's
rights, acknowledged by the prior disuse of his name, and
latterly, in 1882, they again re-registered their trade-mark
as " Warren's Sweet Essence of Rennet," and now they come
to me for an injunction to restrain the use of the label by
Warrens assignees (Messrs. William Hayes & Co). In
my opinion they had no case for an injunction at all ; they
have utterly failed to make out one, and I will go further
and .say — though not much in the habit of venturing
an opinion on an issue not exaciy before me — I am
not certain that they had not been guilty of a piracy
of Warren's rights, and, of course, equally of the rights
of the defendant here as his assignee, but I have on'y
now to decide whether this injunction being interlo-
cutory before judgment and before answer should be
granted, and I am convinced, as I am of anything under the
sun, that it should not. As I have said the plaintiffs did not
by purchase acquire the right to use Warren's name, and it
is clear that the mere fact of registration gave no such
right adverse to himself. The trade mark, the protected
word, here is plainly "Warren's." The word "sweet"
:ould not be protected. It is within the same category as
• nutritious," and that word applied to stout could not be
1 rtected, as has been already decided. Then the words
' essence " and " rennet " were beyond protection by regis-
. ration or otherwise, being words in common use, and in

which each member of the public has, so to speak, a common
property. The name of this composition is " Warren's."
That was used just as inventors use all sorts of catchy titles
to introduce their wares to the public, and frequently the
more ridiculous, the more laughable the title, the better the
thing takes. We have maDy examples of that. A notable
one is a soap advertised everywhere under an attractive
name, which, though very possibly much like all other soaps,
was the means of making the fortune of its producer.
In the very trade-mark journal before me and opposite
to this registration of '• Warren's Sweet Essence of Rennet,"
I find a trade-mark registered for cigarettes, " Lobelia in-
tlatas." The public are so attracted by curious names that
possibly the " Lobelias " will draw, and if not the " Lobelia,"
then, perhaps, the " Inflata " will. The man who manufac-
tures these happens to be a Mr. Bateman, but he takes care
not to call the cigarettes by his own name. In the case of
this preparation Warren had become the " Lobelia," and the
plaintiffs have fallen into this error, they have used the
name of a clerk to designate their wares. That clerk, still
a living man, not having sold his name to them, now objects,
speaking through his assignee. I must refuse the motion for
an ad interim injunction, and, refusing it, I must do so with
costs; as I said at the very outset, a more untenable applica-
tion I never heard made, and the plaintiffs will do well to
consider whether, having regard to all the circumstances,
they should persevere fuither in this matter.

THE

NEW EDITION OF THE
PH ARMACOPCE f A.

Now that (he new edition of the British Pharmacopoeia is
fairly on 1he way, it may be well if we briefly point out (1)
tome of the principal features of the Pharmacopoeia which
will require to be considered and determined upon by the
Revision Committee, and on which it is very desirable to
have a full expression of opinion ; and (2) to recall some of
the criticisms which have been passed on various of the
processes of the present Pharmacopoeia. Among general
features, such questions as language, arrangement of con-
tents, nomenclature, mode of expressing quantities, pro-
cesses for chemical compounds, alkaloids, &c., demand some
attention. A few words on each of these topics may be
offered.

Language. — There will probably be always a difference
of opinion as to whether Latin or English should be used
in the construction of a national Pharmacopoeia, according
as the bias of individual minds inclines towards the classical
or commercial side of the question. The higher education
of the present day perhaps tends towards a return to the
older system, while modern commercial necessity as strongly
favours a continuance of the present system. The question

THE CHEMIST

AND DRUGGIST.

is one that admits of legitimate debate, bat we are persuaded
that its ultimate solu'ion very much depends upon the fu'ure
relation of pharmacy to those more complicated processes
of manufacture contained in the Pharmacopoeia, directions
for which are best conveyed in the vernacular.

Arrangement of Content.*. — This will probably give
little cause for debate, the matter practically lying between
the present sj stem of a continuous alphabetical arrangement
of substances, wi h class arrangement of such preparations as
extracts, infusions, pills, &c, or a return to the older sjs'em
of a primary list of materia medioa and a secondary list of
preparations.

Nomenclature. — It was probably matter for congratula-
tion, considering the many other changes involved in the
new departure of a national Pharmacopoeia, that so few
changes were made in the present Pharmacopoeia in the
names of drugs and chemical compounds. Changes in
nomenclature are not without serious objection and even
risk, and the wisdom, therefore, of several of the changes
introduced into the new edition of the United States
Pharmacof ceia, such as making the botanical genus name
the officinal Latin title of a vegetable drug, or making the
officinal Latin title 'denote the part of the plant used, may
be questioned. Still it cannot be asserted that the nomen-
clature, either as regards individual substances or classes, in
our present Pharmacopoeia is in every respect perfect. Thus,
under the harmless class of preparations, Aquae, prepara-
tions intended merely to pleasantly dilute more nauseous
medicines, we have aqua laurocerast, a drug of the greatest
potency, in many instances equalling in strength the medi-
cinal bydrocjanic acid. Under Essentia there are two pre-
parations which are simple solutions of essential oils in rec-
tified spirit, and differ in no lespect except in strength from
the other solutions of essential oils in the same medium
classified under Spiritus. Unler Linimenta we have a
peculiar mixture of tincture, as in the case of aconite and
belladonna; of pigment, as in the case of iodine; and of
liniment proper— that is, of prepaiations applied with fric-
tion— as in the case of chloroform and soap. Under Misturae
there are two preparations the directions for making which
begin with the term macerate, and which have nothing in
common with the other preparations included in this class.
In pilula saponis composita and tinctura camphorae com-
posita there is the slightest taint of quackery, or at least of
dissimulation, ina-much as the true character of the prepa-
rations is attempted to be covered by a misnomer. Tinctures,
again, bring up the vexed question as to what constitutes a
simple or a compound tincture, while from the chemical
side comes up the retention of such names as liquor arseni-
ealis, in presence not only of liquor arsenici hydroehlorici,
out also of liquor soda' aiseniatis. When to these instances
tave been added tl e larger question of chemical nomen-
;lature proper, there will, we think, be sufficient scope for
liveroity of opinion in this section.

Mode of Representing Quantities.— From indica-
ions recently given, it is almost certain that some change
n the direction of substituting parts for the quantities of
ngredients by weight and measure at present in use will
ie attempted. The expression of quantities in parts may
tave much to commend it, in view of the introduction, at
Ome future date, of the decimal system of weights and
beasurcs ; but it is well that it should be clearly understood
ifhat the introduction of parts into the formulae for processes
I f our Pharmacopoeia really means. It means the weighing
If liquids as well as solids (unless parts by volume be also
Jitroduced), and this method has not hitherto found much
favour amoDg pharmacists in this country.

Processes for Chemicals, &c— Should processes for
chemical compounds and alkaloids that are best prepared on
the large scale, and which are, in the majority of instances,
at present in the hands of large manufacturers, be given in
the Pharmacopoeia ? In the present Pharmacopoeia three
systems are adopted, which appear somewhat inconsistent
with each other and foreign to the authority attached to a
Pharmacopoeia. This is very well illustrated under the first
class of preparations mentioned in the Pharmacopoeia,
namely, Acids, where in cases such as benzoic acid, no process
is given ; or, as in gallic acid, where it is intimated that "it
may be obtained by the following process" ; or where, as in
other cases still, such as hydrocyanic acid, a definite formula
is given, which the conscientious manufacturer feels bound
to obey. Such are a few of the questions that must come-
before the Revision Committee. Other questions of an initial
character might be aelded, but those mentioned are sufficient
to indicate points for criticism anil suggestion.

in dealing with criticisms on the processes for Pharma-
copoeia preparations it will be manifestly impossible to
recall all that have been parsed during the last fifteen years,
so that here also the points indicated will be more sugges-
tive than complete. We take the preparations as near as
possible alphabeticaUy.

Acetum Scillce. — The spirit directed to be aided has been
generally objected to as deteriorating the preparation, and
causing it to deposit.

Aaidum Nltrohydroohlorioum Dilutum. — Tae mixing of
the strong acids, and allowing to si and for twenty-four
hours, is unnecessary and uncertain. Exposure of the dilute
acids for a few days to moderately good light produces a
more uniform result. Tae saturatiag-power of this acid is
also put too high.

Acidum Sulphur osum. — The percentage of SO.,, namely,
0 2 by weight, is too high, and the solution does not keep.
A 5 per cent, solution has been recommended as being more
stable.

AUtalbids.—An improved process for estimating the
amount of alkaloids in cinch ana bark and opium is
desiderated.

Alumen — A proposal has been made to return to the
pota=h alum, owing to the difficulty of obtaining the
ammonia-alum commercially.

Aquce Arwthi, Cj,rui, Cinnamomi, Fwniculi, Pimento?. — The
seeds, ice, in these preparations are directed to be bruised.
A belter and more uniform preparation, it is stated, is
obtained from them whole.

Confeojbio Sutphuris. — Tne addition of tragacanth powder
to this formula is desirable to prevent it depositing.

Emplahtrum Plumhi lodidi. — The formula is bad, the
ooap plaster acting on the iodide of leal and decompos-
ing it.

Ectr.ictum Cinchona Fiavcc Liquidnm. — A very general
desire has been expressed for a better formula.

Extvactum-Ergotce IAqyidum. — The ether in this process
is unnecessary, as the oil contained in the ergot is almost
insoluble in water. The heat at which the marc is directed
to be digested is also said to be hurtful.

Ferri Sulphas Exiiccaia. — This preparation is directed to
be dried at a temperature beginning at 212°, which ma}' be
raised to 400°. This latter temperature decomposes the salt,
and renders it insoluble. It may be completely dried at a
lower temperature.

Injeotio Morphia Hypodermioa. — It is suggested that this
preparation be prepared direct from the salt, or from the
pure alkaloid, by the addition of acetic acid, and also thai
the strength be altered to 10 per cent.

400

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[August 15, 1883.

Linimcntum Potassii Iodidi cum Saqwne. — It is impos-
sible to get uniform or satisfactory results with present
formula and directions.

Linimcntum Saponis. — This still remains an unsatis-
factory preparation. Soap in coarse powder, and an altera-
tion in the proportion of spirit and water have been
suggested.

Linimcntum Terebinthince Aceticum. — This liniment is un-
mixable. An elegant liniment can be prepared with a
proper portion of glacial acetic acid.

Liquor Atrojiiai. — The excess of spirit produces irritation
■when dropped into the eye.

Liquor Calais. — The lime should be first washed to remove
chlorides.

Liquor Epispasticus. — This preparation does not blister.
The substitution of glacial acetic acid or acetic ether is
recommended.

Liquor Fcrri Perchhridi. — Several improvements have
been suggested on the process for this preparation.

Liquor Magnesia Carbonatis. — It is suggested that the
strength might well be reduced from 13 grains to 10 grains
in the fluid ounce, owing to the impossibility of keeping
higher proportion in solution, unless under excess of carbonic
acid.

Oleum Phosphoratum. — Heating the oil to 300° is stated to
be unnecessary. It is also recommended to be reduced to
1 per cent.

Oxymel Scilla. — A return to the old formula is advocated,
owing to the difficulty of carrying out practically the
evaporation to the proper degree.

Pilula Assafxtidce Composita and Pulvis Crctce Aro-
maticus. — These are said to be synonymous with the pilula
galbani coroposita, and confectio aromatica of the London
Pharmaeopi eia. This is not the case, but an assimilation
might be approached.

Pilula Phosphor /.— The addition of soap to the present
formula is said to be an improvement.

Pulvis Glyoyrrhizce Compositus. — This preparation is
seldom if ever used. The Prussian formula is largely used.

Spiritus JBtlieris Nitrosi. — Very general dissatisfaction
with the present process has been expressed, and a reduc-
tion of nitric ether from 10 to 5 per cent, advocated.

Suppositoria. — The mixture of wax, lard, and oil of
heobroma might well be substituted by oil of thoobroma
alone, as no better basis for suppositories could be found.

Tinctura Aurantii Rece/itis. — Proof spirit, it is stated,
should be substituted for rectified spirit.

Unguentum and Emplastrwm Belladonna, — These should be
prepared from the alcoholic extract.

Such are a few of the criticisms and suggestions that have
been passed on the present Pharmasopceia processes. These
can be largely supplemented by the intelligent observation
of many hundreds of pharmacists. Unless this is done
much valuable information will be lost to the Revision Com-
mittee, and the forthcoming Pharmacopoeia will be so much
the less perfect and complete.

In the various points mentioned we have only touched
upon a few in the many embraced in the labours of the
Revision Committee. There will be deletions from and
admissions to the new Pharmacopeia, as well as revision of
chemical tests, description of crude drugs, definitions of phy-
sical properties, and a general correction of the various tables,
&c, appended to the Pharmacopoeia ; but the work to which
the practical pharmacist can give the best assistance is
in the direction indicated in the various points already
alluded to.

THE PARCELS POST.

The inauguration of the parcels post at the beginning of
this month cannot fail to have a considerable effect on the
business of the country. It provides facilities which other
countries, with much more limited means of communica-
tion relatively to size, have enjoyed for a long time. So
that the fact thaf. these facilities have been at last provided
is not a proof of such startling energy on the part of our
Government as it has been represented to be. But trouble-
some arrangements seem to have been made with rare com-
pleteness, and on them the postal authorities ought to be
congratulated. That the stores and the large London firms
will be the first to feel the benefit of the new system in
trade seems obvious, and we cannot doubt that bottles of
medicine will contribute to some degree to the postal loads.
But in every district the enterprising druggist will find
means of utilising the parcels post to his own advantage.
It is a fact, no matter what authorities say to the contrary,
that the increase of facilities of obtaining medicine, or the
reduction of difficulties as well as of expense, does and will
promote its consumption. Chemists have sometimes argued
that people will not take medicine unless they are forced to
do so. It is wonderful that they should, but it is the fact
that they will. Probably a good half of the medicine con-
sumed is taken as a luxury ; that is to say, it is taken by
persons who do not really need it. Chemists who have
faith in this theory will do whatever they can to encourage
orders for medicines and other articles all round their
centres by the parcels post.

THE BRITISH PHARMACEUTICAL.
CONFERENCE.

Southport, where the Conference will meet on September
18 and 19, is the youngest town that has offered its hospi-
tality to British pharmacists, In 1792, Mr. W. Sutton built
on the sand-hills a comfortable inn, which his friends chris-
tened " The Folly." In 1867 the town was first constituted
a municipal borough, and had a population estimated at
14,000. Now it numbers some 35,000, exclusive of Birk-
dale.

The head-quarters of the Conference will be at the Prince
of Wales Hotel, quite near both the sea and Lord Street, the
principal thoroughfare, of which the townsfolk are very
proud. The meetings will be held m the large banqueting-
room. A limited number of bedrooms has been retained,
and intending visitors should make early application for
them to Mr. Ashton, local secretary. The ordinary tariff of
the hotel will be charged.

The attractions of Southport are all modern. The pier is
1,465 yards loDg, and a tramway, carrying passengers 1,200
yards up it, shortens it for bad walkers. There are " Winter
Gardens and Aquarium " to be. visited ; the Glaciarium, which
is a skating-rink of real ice, maintained at all seasons, the
only one in the kingdom ; splendid public baths, at which a
special swimming entertainment will take place during the
stay of the Conference.

On the afternoon of Thursday, Sept. 20, a garden-party
will be given at the Botanical Gardens, which will be re-
served for members and their friends. Musical entertain-
ments will be provided by a first-class military banol and a
large company of Mr. Halle's renowned choir. L. H.
Grindon, Esq., will exhibit a choice collection of rare
plants, and give an interesting botanical lecture. In case
of bad weather visitors will be fully protected, and the local
committee are anxious that all members should make
arrangements to stay over the Thursday, as it is intended to
make the garden-party both interesting and enjoyable.

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

401

The chemists of St. Helen's are making arrangements for
the members to visit some of the chemical-works of their
town, and, if the weather is favourable, daily steamboat
excursions may be made to Lytham and Blackpool. Liver-
pool is 35 minutes distant by express train, and it is hoped
that favorrrable terms will be granted for local railway
travelling.

It will be seen from the report of the meeting of the
Executive Committee on another page that promises of papers
to be read have already been received from twelve gentle-
men.

Through trains for Southport leave London (Euston
station) at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. And finally, a guide, with a
map of the town and engravings of the public buildings, is
published by Mr. Stephenson, Lord Street, for threepence.

The President's address promises to be the event of the
Conference. It will be remembered that last year he treated
the relation of pharmacy to the State in such style
that his address attracted more attention from the
public press than had ever been awarded to any of its pre-
decessors. It is an open secret that the subject this year
will be the relations of the State to pharmacy. It has been
treated in uncounted letters, speeches, and more or less
ambitious editorial articles ; but the prevailing character-
istic has been a striving after ends without any adequate
appreciation of the means to be employed ; a vague desire
for something different from present circumstances, but
indistinctly seen. Dr. Attfield is notoriously free from
indistinctness of vision. He always knows what he means,
and lacks not vigorous English to make others see it too.
"We understand that many correspondents have furnished
him with facts illustrating the present state of Pharmacy in
this country, and we anticipate a suggestive if not an abso-
lutely convincing treatment of the subject.

ACTING AS AN APOTHECARY.

The County Court trial of the Society of Apothecaries
agaiDst Pearson, which we report elsewhere, is interesting on
account of the light which it throws on the somewhat com-
plicated relationships which exist in some of the populous
districts of the metropolis between me lical men, chemists,
and those who are conveniently designated the " masses."
Clearly the defendant had infringed the law, and clearly,
too, the judgment of the Court against him was inevitable ;
his counsel made a gallant but a hopeless fight for him, but
the plaintiff's representative could fairly describe the
evidence as overwhelming. It is needless to dwell on these
points, but before we form a too-ready judgment on any of
the parties concerned it may be as well to realise if possible
the surrounding circumstances. We want to say a word here
for the really immense but half-ignored services and sacri-
fices rendered in these localities by many members of the
medical profession. These are the great fields for the energy
of young practitioners. The medical student has passed
through his dreamy days, and has accomplished his longer or
shorter career of rowdyism. In the last year of his curri-
culum he sets himself more seriously to his work. The
mountain before him has come to look stesper and ^higher,
the paths up it more crowded, the baronetcy at the top more
difficult of access, and his own genius somewhat less assured
than just when he left school. He gains his hard-earned
diploma, but he knows now that that is only the pass
admitting him to the competition, not the crown of victory.
And he finds out that it is in St. Giles, in Bethnal Green, in
Lambeth, or in Westminster, that his most certain chances of
employment and experience are to be found. Harley
Street must wait. So he settles down. And among the
myriads of mothers around him a few are sure to try the

new doctor. This is his opportunity. If, as is likely, the
baby on which he first experiments has a complaint to which
a Greek name can be reasonably attached, and if a bottle
or two of " stuff " should bring it round, his fame spreads,
and if his clients are sometimes slow in paying they are not
slow in praising. No mother in the circle of the first mother's
acquaintance will be satisfied until she has had the new
doctor in her house, nor until her baby has had a complaint
with as long a name as the other mother's baby's. It is
hardly recognised, perhaps, how much the doctor's visits
are thought of among the poor of London. The interest is
far deeper and more real than that created by the curate's
visits in the country. The doctor wields a magic power over
disease, and to those people both disease and the " stuff "
which does battle witli it, and so often conquers it, are very
distinct entities.

But, from the doctor's own point of view, the associations
can hardly be so pleasant. He can hardly help being a man
of some culture and refinement, and he can have but rare
opportunities to gratify his higher tastes. He gets accustomed
no doubt, to suffering and death, but, still, the sad dramas
of humble life which he is so often witnessing must strain
his nervous organisation. Few occupations seem to call for
rest and recreation so urgently as his, and none permit such
relief so little. Add to this that he is likely to be mocked
at by the medical papers for attending his patients so
cheaply, or, on the other hand, regarded by dishonourable
and drunken customers as a brutal tyrant if he seeks to
recover his moderate charge? for his'services. There are,
indeed, few men who better serve their day and generation
than many of the unknown medical practitioners of
London.

What was the exact nature of the " understanding " or
"arrangement," if such there was, between the thirty
doctors or any of them alluded to in the trial and the
chemist who was the actual defendant did not come out.
Probably there was nothing definite. That chemists can be
of great service to doctors is obvious, and there does not
seem to be anything necessarily wrong in cultivating such
business. Indeed, we should urge chemists to be more
willing than they seem to be to assist general practitioners
on mutually advantageous terms. But in this case the
services seem to have been carried much too far. On©
would like to know a little more of the way the system is
worked amicably among so many rival doctors, and also to
understand the principle on which both the work and the
profits are shared, if, as one must suppose, they are shared,,
between Brooke Street, Grosvenor Square, and Stamford
Street, Blackfriars.

BROKERS AND THE CITY OF
LONDON.

Thb;ee is a little Bill before the House of Commons en-
dorsed by Messrs. R. B. Martin, Magniac, and Buxton, which
proposes " to relieve the brokers of the City of London froms
the necessity of being admitted by the Court of Mayor and
Aldermen and from all payments to the Chamberlain of that
city." This Bill has been " blocked "'on behalf of the Cor-
poration, and we suppose it is not likely to get into that
statute-book this year. The grievance which it is desired
to remedy is that the City Fathers claim a fee of 51. on ad-
mission, and a tax of 6?. annually from those persons who
are admitted to the privileges of trading as brokers within
the City of London. It does not seem, however, that the
Guildhall powers have been very strict in enforcing their
claim, for at a meeting of brokers held at the Baltic last
week, it was stated that, while there are 4,500 firms publicly
advertised as brokers in the City, only 1,882 are called upou

to pay to the City. The aldermanic generosity in this matter
is not quite understood, but uncharitable persons have im-
plied that it is an outcome of that prudent discretion which
prefers to be satisled with that which it can get without
much trouble, and does not care to stir up a strife which
might end in losing all. The tax originated in the reign of
Queen Anne, when it was found desirable to abolish the
office of Garbler, from which the City derived some 300Z. a
year. As compensation a tax of 21. on the brokers was
granted. Later od, when the docks were built, an income of
7501. a year was fuither lost by the destruction of certain
ganger's profits, and again compensation was awarded by
increasing the brokers' tax to 51. per annum. The tax now
brings in 9,5007. per annum, so that all the Corporation have
to complain about is the approaching end of that comfortable
little sum. It does not appear that the City in any way
supervises or guarantees the respectability of these brokers,
and a Royal Commission on the City in 1854 reported that
there was no public benefit in maintaining the nominal
control. Still an endowment of this kind, which seems to
have been legally granted, is hard to get rid of, and if it is
only to be shifted from brokers to someone else, the City
will probably, as usual, only improve its position.

THE TRANSMISSION OF DISEASE
FROM CEMETERIES.

Mr. Edwin Corbett, Her Majesty's Minister at Eio de
Janeiro, has transmitted to Earl Granville some preliminary
reports emanating from a medical commission appointed by
the Brazilian Government to inquire into the origin and
nature of yellow fever, which has been very prevalent in
the city during last summer. Mr. Corbett's communica-
tions were written in the course of April, and with them
are enclosed reports which have been written by Dr.
Domingos Freire, a member of the Commission, which, con-
firmed by his colleagues, have been published in anticipation
of the complete account of their investigations which is to
follow. Dr. Freire states that he had taken earth from the
grave of a person who had died from yellow fever, and had
been buried a year previously. The earth was taken at a
foot beneath the surface. He does not state how deep the
body had been buried. The earth did not present any
remarkable features in appearance, smell, or other external
character ; but on examining it by a microscope which
magnified 740 diameters, he found in it myriads of microbii,
exactly identical with those he had found in the vomitings,
the urine, the blood, and other organic liquids of persons
sick with yellow fever ; that is, cells of the cryptoooocus and
antliogenicus, at various stages of development, from the
size of a black point difficult to perceive in the field of the
microscope, to that of round corpuscles of various s'zes, and
in colour black to grey. Many of these organisms were
making spontaneous movements.

The obvious inference from this discovery is, that every
grave of a person who has died from yellow fever becomes
the nursery for myriads of germs of the disease, which
may be wafted by the winds or carried by the rains to the
neighbouring city, thus almost inevitably perpetuating the
epidemics.

These observations are no doubt of importance ; nor do we
desire to oppose the resulting conclusion in favour of
cremation. We cannot doubt that the general practice of
cremation in place of inhumation would be attended with
appreciable benefit to the health of the living. But Dr.
Freire's report, so far as it appears in the British Foreign
Office reports, is not conclusive. Evidently he went to the
-cemetery and obtained this earth with a preconceived

theory, while his assertion that the microbii he found, some
of which were hardly perceivable in the field of the micro-
scope, and which varied so much in size and colour, were
" exactly identical " with those he had found in the organic
liquids of persons sick of yellow fever, clearly needs corro-
borative pathologic evidence. In a subsequent communica-
tion sent by Mr. Corbett, Dr. Freire records various ex-
periments proving the transmission of the 'disease by
injection of blood from the heart of a person who had died
of yellow fever into the veins of rabbits and guinea pigs,
but he only alludes rather vaguely to an experiment made
with the infected earth. " A guinea-pig, whose blood
examination showed was in a pure state, was shut up in a
confined space in which was placed the earth taken from
the grave. In five days the animal was dead, and its blood
was proved to be literally crammed with the cryptococcus
in various stages of evolution." Inoculation of blood into
a rabbit, from the rabbit to a guinea-pig, from the guinea-
pig to another, and once more, occasioned death in from
18 minutes to a few hours, while in the case of the earth it
appears five days were necessary, while the conditions and
precautions to prevent the possibility of error were not
detailed.

A village chemist, having a vacant space on his door-
post, authorised a local genius to affix a legend thereto
during his own brief absence. On returning he was startled
to find the announcement, amid elaborate flourishes,
" Physicians' prescriptions carefully confounded."

" A CURIOUS case was brought recently before the Superior
Court of Maryland, U.S.A., in which a rejected candidate at
the examination of the College of Physicians and Surgeons
of Baltimore petitioned the Court to issue a writ of man-
damn* upon the Faculty that they should issue to him their
diploma. The Faculty filed a demurrer, which was allowed,
but an appeal was granted."

Mr. James Platt, the author of the " Business" series of
books, points out a "serious defect" in the parcels-post
system. The Tost Office does not sign for the parcels
received, so firms are liable to robbery, without fear of
detection, by the porters who take their parcels to the office.
As it is understood that the office takes no responsibility, the
least they can do is to sign, so as to protect senders, and
reduce the chances of theft as much as possible. For their
own employes' sakes they should have nil parcels signed for
at prominent stages of the route.

Dr. R. C. Smith, of Ardwick, Manches'er, narrates in the
British Medical Journal a suggestive event, which, he says,
occurred some years ago. A gentleman, a friend of his, had
been recommended to use precipitated chalk to clean his
teeth. He went to a chemist to procure some. The prin-
cipal, not being at home, had left his sh^p in charge of a
lad about 15 years old, who bad been promoted from the
condition of errand-boy to that of assistant. The youth had
sold red and white percipitate scores of times, but his know-
ledge had not gone so far as to know the meaning of the
word precipitate, nor had he heard of its connection witli
any other drug than the two last mentioned; but, from the
colour of chalk, he thought it could not be the red that was
required, so he at once weighed out an ounce of the white
variety. The gentleman unsuspectingly took it home, com-
menced to use it to his teeth with a stiff brush, making his
gums bleed at the same time. After a few days' use he
presented himself to the doctor suffering from intense
ptyalism, with foetid breath, swollen jaws, and teeth ready
to drop out, as well as the other symptoms of mercurial
poisoning, altogether a piteous object. A little inquiry into
the cause of his condition revealed the facts above stated.
The patient was, of course, greatly irritated as the cause of
his illness dawned on him, but charitably forgave and over-
looked the matter, all parties concerned in the affair being
neighbours.

The fear of cholera has brought to the daily press a
number of contributions of greater or less value. One of
the most interesting is a letter by Major Wm. Vaughan
Morgan, Treasurer of the London Homoeopathic Hospital,
on the homoeopathic view of the matter. Daring the
epidemic of 1854 the wards of the hospital were cleared of
other patients and thrown open for the treatment of cholera.
The four principal remedies used were Rubini's tincture of
camphor, cuprum aceticum veratrum, and arsenicum. The
deaths under the treatment at the hospital amounted to
only 16"4 per cent, in an epidemic in which, as the analysis
furnished by the Committee of the Medical Council showed,
the deaths under the most successful treatment pursued in
other Metropolitan hospitals were at the rate of 50 2 per
cent.

A certain Austrian, Dr. Schmidt, died a few years ago
and left 50,000 florins for the foundation of a chair of
homoeopathy in the Vienna medical faculty. Some time
ago the Minister of Education asked for the opinion of the
faculty in respect to this legacy, which, it is needless to say,
was not favourable. In consequence the minister has just
refused the legacy. What is to be done with it is not at
present known.

The German Apotheker Verein will hold its annual meet-
ings this year at Wiesbaden, on September 4. 5, fi and 7. An
exhibition of objects of pharmaceutical interest, will be open
during those days, and after the business is over in the after-
noon of September 6, a great dinner will be held in the
Kurhaus, winding up the evening with a garden festival
and a display of fireworks. The nest day will be occupied
by an excursion on the Rhine to Assmannsbausen, a walk on
the Niederwald and a visit to the National Monument, the
Watch on the Rhine, which it is expected will be then nearly
finished. For the whole programme members pay 15.s. each,
or 10s. each for ladies.

Returns of results of cases treated in all the hospitals
(including the London Homoeopathic) were furnished after
the epidemic to the Gene:al Hoard of Health, but the return
from the Homoeopathic Hospital were excluded by the com-
mittee of the General Medical Council from the analysis
which was made for the information of the Board of Health,
and was afterwards published as a separate parliamentary
paper by a special resolution of the house. Dr. M-Loughlin,
one of the medical inspectors of the Board of Health, was
so far converted that he sent a subscription to the hospital,
and expressed a wish to be treated by a homoeopathic
physician if he weie ever struck down by cholera.

A LAW was recently passed in the Michigan Legislature,
allowirg a person to make his will, and tben during his
lifetime petition the Probate Court for citations to all his
heirs and such other persons as he deemed necessary to
attend an examination into his sanity and testamentary
capacity. If it shall appear that the person was fully com-
petent to make a will, a decree to that effect shall be made,
and the question of incapacity cannot be raised again, except
upon appeal from the decree. If the testator subsequently
becomes insane, and dies in that condition, his will, never-
theless, cannot be questioned on this ground. The contents
of the will are not to be made known until after the death
of the testator.

ANEWinspectorof weights and measures has distinguished
himself by summoning three chemists in Uxbriclge for the
use of weights and measures which had been passed by his
predecessor. Many of the weights were unstamped, which
shows that the provisions of the weights and measures Act
had not been properly enforced. While we sympathise with
the unfortunate defendants in the unpleasant position they
have occupied, we must use their fate to warn others not to
be satisfied till they are sure that the law in its strictest
interpretation has nothing against them. The expense and
trouble of complying with the Act are insignificant com-
pared with the loss of reputation sustained by detection in
offences against it, even when these are unintentional.

The aniline dyes have often been quoted as one of the
particular triumphs of the century. This complacent delusion,
like so many others, has to be surrendered. They and the
success they have achieved are only indications of the
tendency of the age, long since discerned at Chelsea, to rush
headlong towards shoddy, malfeasance, and Beelzebub. Mr.
Broomhall, of Mincing Lane, whose name seems somehow
associated with indigo, asks the readers of the Times a few
questions. How long does a new carpet look decent 1 How
long will it stand sunlight ? How often have shopkeepers
to cut off lengths exposed in their windows ? Where are
the carpets dyed with the old natural dye stuffs ? Mr.
Broomhall's answer to these conundrums is given generally
in his last sentence that this is the age of shooldy and
aniline. But ihese high-toned philosophers who settle
everything with the term shoddy have yet something: to
learn. Do they know that even, shoddy has its use ? With
many of us the question is not between cheap carpets and
dear ones, but between cheap carpets and none. A sixpence
does not last as long as a shilling, but it is poor form to
abuse the age because sixpences are more abundant than
they used to be.

Two years ago a firm of biscuit-makers stated in the Times
that, according to the postal tariff theD in force, they could
post samples from Belgium to this country at half the rates
charged if posted and delivereolhere exclusively. The matter
was mentioneol in the House of Commons, and the Postmaster-
Ceneral said it was an anomaly whio'h ought, not to exist;
but he intimated that it would be removed when the Parcels
Post, then in contemplation, came into operation. This has
not been done. The same firm again wrote to the Times ex-
plaining that on August 4 they shipped a large quantity of
samples to Ostenol, which were there posted to England.
Two hundred and fifty 4 cz. samples can be posted there for
an English sovereign, a saving of 11. Is. 8d on the opiantity.
The Is. S/l. more than pays the freight and other expenses
on a large qaantity, and the British post-office gets about
one-third of a penny for work for which it might just as
well have the whole penny, but for which it still insists on
twopence.

At Aberdeen a druggist asked to supply salicylate of
soda for rheumathm, gave the applicant six powders con-
taining 15 grains each. The first dose produced prolonged
drowsiness, ending in death, the symptoms being those of
narcotic poisoning. An inquest was held, and one powder
was examined by a local medical practitioner, who only
tested for the salicylate and found it. The widow of the
deceased sueol the chemist for the loss of her husband on
the ground that the salicylate must have been mix^d with
some other substance, and that he had not exercised due
care and knowledge in supplying it. She claimed 750/.
damages, but offered through her agent to accept 150/. in
satisfaction of all claims. This offer was refused, but when
the day of trial approached, the defendant compromised the
matter by paying 400^, claiming at the same time that the
poisonous admixture could not have occurred since the salt
had been in his hands, and that he had purchased it of a
respec'able house whom he was entitled to trust. A few
days later an analysis of the powder by Dr. Stevenson
Macadam, was publ'shed in the papers, and revealed the
presence of more than 50 per cent, of morphia hydrochlo-
rate. The Standard, cimmenting on the case, makes the
unwarranted assertion th it manydeaths by accidental poison-
ing, by the sale of a noxious drug instead of a harmless one,
occur every year, and goes on to say '-it is well that every
olruggist should impress it strongly upon his mind that he is
liable for damages for carelessness leading to fatal results
either on the part of himself or his assistant. The risk of
punishment in a criminal court is, he knows, infinitesimally
small. However gross the cirelessness displayed, the ver-
dict of the coroner's jury is certain to be death from
misadventure, with, perhaps, a rider expressing a strong
opinion as to the conduct of the dispenser. But beyond
this, and a censure from the coroner, the matter does not
go. The reflection, however, that if no serious conse-
o[uence to his person is likely to arise, he may be mulctetl
in damages, is likely to cause chemists to be not only ex-
tremely careful themselves, but most particular as to the
attainments and practical knowledge of their assistants."

Reports of Trials for Murder by Poisoning, with Chemical
Introduction and Notes on the Poisons Used. By
G. Lathom Browne, Barristerat-Law, and C. G. Stewart,
senior assistant in the laboratory of St. Thomas'
Hospital. London : Stevens & Sons. Pp. xvi. and G04.

In this work the authors have collected, evidently with
great care, reports of thirteen trials for murder by poisoning,
and have edited these for the use of the legal and the
medical profession in such a manner as to present not only
a clear account of the history of each case, with a summary
of whatever legal points may have occurred, but have also
made an especial aim to indicate with accuracy and with all
necessary fulness the expert testimony of analysts and
physicians. Wherever this class of evidence has been con-
tradictory, the statements of the opposing witnesses have
been brought into proximity, and the chemical editor has
added such a review of the evidence as to give to readeis
with a sufficient basis of scientific education a very satis-
factory acquaintance with most difficult questions which
have occurred in these cases. The trials selected for review
in this treatise are those of Tawell, Ball, and Walker
(prussic acid) ; Palmer, Dove, and Barlow (strychnia) ;
Madeline Smith and Ann Merritt (arsenic) ; Pritchard,
Smethurst, and Winslow (antimony) ; and McConkey and
Lamson (aconitine). It appears to us that these reports
have been elaborated and commented on with great skill,
and, that being so, the information given is likely from
time to time to prove of extreme value.

The Extra Pharmacopoeia of Unofficial Drvgs and Chemical
and Pharmaceutical Preparations. By Wm. Martindale,
F.C.S. With References to their Uses, abstracted from
the Medical Journals, by W. Wynn Westcott, M.B.
(London: H. K. Lewis.)

It can hardly be disputed that the period which has elapsed
since our last Pharmacopoeia was issued has been more pro-
lific than any previous sixteen years in the introduction of
new medicines. Whatever may be the amount of respect
theoretically due to the Pharmacopoeia, it is a matter of fact
that the medicaments stamped with its approval form but a
small portion of the armoury of the modern physician, while
the pharmacist who confines his studies to the worthy
volume is very antiquated indeed. But with all the in-
formation which enterprising gentlemen bestow upon us
with philanthropic, scientific, or commercial intentions, it is
still difficult to find conveniently packed between one pair
of covers the pharmaceutical and therapeutic details of these
many new remedies which have come into use. Mr. Martin-
dale's work seems to supply this deficiency. Very concisely
he gives such particulars of the pharmacy and chemistry of
such non-official remedies as can at all claim to have
established a footing ; also adding information respecting
certain official preparations for which new uses have been
recently sought out. To each section his coadjutor adds a
most useful summary of the principal notices of these
medicines which have been published.

Tart II. of Dymock's " Vegetable Materia Medica of
Western India " carries the work into the Umbelliferae.

Quain's " Dictionary of Medicine," published by Messrs.
Longmans & Co., must take rank amongst the most remark-
able of successes in modern medical literature. The sale has
already reached 7,000 in this country, and a large issue has
been sold in America.

The " Midland Medical Miscellany " for August has a
timely article on " Christian " quackery, commenting in
terms of well-deserved reproach on the hypocritical tone of
the advertisements, and sometimes of the editorial puffs of
quack remedies in the columns of the so-called " Christian "
papers. Somebody's method of treatment, for instance, is
described as "a discovery derived from the Creator's own

provision for man's wants," while the same person's
magnetic appliance is the " remedy in the hands of God for
indigestion and all its concomitant evils." This style of
phraseology, concocted for a special class of readers, would
seem to answer, for the flow of it would seem to be more
abundant than ever ; we have ourselves, in past times,
more than once referred to it. But one fact mentioned by
the " Midland Medical Miscellany " deserves to be specially
mentioned. It is that the "War Cry," General Booth's
organ, which so shocks the refined piety of its more cultured
contemporaries, " absolutely declines to insert advertise-
ments of this character, thereby showing some sense of the
distinction between the service of God and that of Mam-
mon." Let that be remembered to the credit of the
General.

Distribution of Some Poisons in the Human
Organism in Poisoning Cases.

Dr. C. Bischoff, analytical chemist to the Berlin police
authorities, has lately given his special attention to the dis-
tribution of some poisons in the human organism ^;os#
mortem, and publishes the results of his researches in the
Berichte der dcutschen chemischen. Gescllschaft, June 11,
18S3.

Cases of poisoning with carbolic acid, potassium chlorate,
oxalic acid, arid piussic acid wei'e examined.

Carbolic Acid. — The author remarks that this substance
is formed spontaneously in corpses undergoing decomposi-
tion. He found the following percentage in a perfectly
fresh corpse, in the case of a man who had drunk a quantity
of a strong aqueous solution of carbolic acid :—

Blood 0-0231 | Heart muscle* . . .. 0-03G7

Liver 0 043 Brain 0-0217

Kidneys 0-062 | Urine 0 011

Potassium Chlorate. — Tn contact with moist organic sub-
stances, and especially blood, potassium chlorate is very
rapidly reduced to chloride, so that in many cases no positive
evidence of poisoning with this salt can be obtained.

Oxalic Acid. — In cases of poisoning with the acid or its
salts, a quantity of minute octahedra containing calcium
are found in the stomach and its membranes. Free oxalic
acid is also found in the oesophagus, while liver, heart,
kidneys, and urine contain various oxalates.

Prussic Acid. — The chief quantity of the poison is found
in the blood. In cases of acute poisoning with prussic acid,
the acid does not pass over into the urine.

A Modern Dr. Eisenbart.

A CURIOUS ca=e has lately occupied the Berlin Law Courts.
A certain Dr. Brozeit, who had come from a provincial town
to settle in Berlin, began his practice in the latter city by
publishing in the local papers some rather bombastic
advertisements, in which, amongst other things, he stated
that diseases were of two kinds : (a) those which no one but
himself could cure, as consumption, cancer, rickets, &c, and
(b) those which other doctors might be able to manage.

Dr. Groszer, who is editor of a medical paper, criticised
therein Dr. Brozeit's proceeding somewhat sharply, which
comment was replied to by another advertisement, wherein
Dr. Brozeit offered to bet that his system of therapeutics
was worth more than that of all the medical schools put
together. Dr. Groszer replied in his paper that Dr. Brozeit
had " vomited an advertisement."

A summons on the part of the offended " Eisenbart " was
the answer, and the Courts had to settle the dispute.

For the expression " vomited," the First Court (Berlin Land
Gericht) sentenced Dr. Groszer to 3m. damages and two-fifths
of the costs.

Not satisfied with this sentence, Dr. Brozeit tried a higher
Court, which, however, dismissed the case with costs to the
plaintiff. — Berliner Tagcblatt.

Some Objections to the Employment of Bokacic
Acid for Preserving Food.
BORACIC ACID has of late been much talked about, and either
alone or mixed with other substances actually employed as
a food preservative. In a paper by J. Foerster. sent to the
Bericlvte der deutschen cJiemischen Gesellschaft, July 23, 1883,
he points out that, from the results of diet experiments, car-
ried out under his direction, the protracted consumption of
even small quantities of boracic acid with the daily food is,
in his opinion, detrimental to proper nutrition.

The author found that, living upon a diet consisting exclu-
sively of milk and eggs, with and without the addition of
boracic acid, and carefully examining the faeces in all cases
where boracic acid had been consumed, there was an
increase in the excretion of dry substance and nitrogen, that
more than the normal quantity of bile was excreted, and
that albuminous constituents of the food were unnecessarily
lost.

The Chemical Composition of Fish.
The subjoined table of fish analyses is taken from a paper

The author purposes publishing, in a short time, analyses
of oysters, lobsters, and a number of other invertebrates
used for food, as well as the results of some diet experiments
as to their practical nutritious value.

Wood Alcohol.
Stearn's New Idea states that the refiners of methyl (or
wood) alcohol have been turning out a product almost
entirely free from the empyreuinatic odour peculiar to crude
wood naphtha. This has been put upon the market under
the name of " alcoholene " and similar trade names. It

being considerably less in cost than ethyl (or corn) alcohol,
it has been, we are credibly informed, used by some unscru-
pulous jobbers of drugs for adulterating the latter. It has
been added in as high a proportion as one-third without
being readily detected in the hands of inexperienced
persons.

Tincture of Aconite.

An anonymous writer in the New York Medical Tines (a
homoeopathic journal), records some experiments under-
taken with a view to ascertain the strength of the tinc-
tures of aconite generally prescribed, rather than to discuss
the therapeutic merits of the preparations. The aconitia
strength only is given, but the writer does not infer that
the aconitia strength of a tincture of aconite is a true test
of its comparative value in medicine, but that if the right
menstruum is used for their extraction, the same percentage
of all the other active principles of the part used will be
dissolved.

The tinctures used were tincture of aconite root, U. S. P.
(which is made from the root), of the manufacture of one
of the most reliable druggists ; a tincture from the green
root, and one from the plant, both imported, and obtained
from one of the best known dealers in New York. One part
of each was used, Each was acidulated with sulphuric
acid and evaporated at a temperature not exceeding
100° F. to four fluid ounces ; this was shaken with ether to
separate the green oil. After the oil was removed as
nearly as possible by a syphon, the remainder was evapo-
rated at the same temperature to a syrupy consistence.
This extract was again shauen with fresh portions of ether
until the oil was entirely separated, warmed until all traces of
ether were expelled, and then mixed with a small quantity
of distilled water ; to this mixture was added carbonate of
magnesia slightly in excess to precipitate the aconitia.
After setting aside for three or four hours, this was shaken
with several times its bulk of ether, set aside again and the
ether decanted, the remainder shaken with ether again,
the two solutions mixed and left to evaporated spon-
taneously: the residue was impure aconitia; this was again
mixed with water and dilute sulphuric acid added gradu-
ally until a solution was effected ; this mixture was care-
fully saturated with aqua ammonire, and the precipitate
formed was washed with distilled water, dried and
weighed.

The weight of the product was as follows :

Grains

From the green plant \\

From the green root .. .. .. .. . . 6A

From the powdered root (official) 11 Jj

The author seems to know how the imported tinctures
were made. He gives the relative proportions of ingre-
dients, as under :

Oz. Pint

Tincture aconite root, XI. S. P 6 to 1

„ „ green herb 1\ 1

„ „ „ root 1J 1

The result tends to prove that the active principles of the
same plants can generally be more easily and more
thoroughly dissolved by the right solvent from the green
than from the dried portion of the plant, for if we obtained
6 \ grains from the equivalent of \\ ounces of dried root
from the green root, and only Hi from 6 ounces of the root
when dried, it shows over twice the yield in favour of the
green root process, which shows that a good specimen of
aconite root contains about nine-tenths per cent of aconitia,
and that less than four-tenths per cent, are dissolved out
by the U. S. process for making the tincture.

The green preparations used were the imported homoeo-
pathic mother tinctures.

Fine for Careless Treatment. — A trial is reported in
the Indian medical papers of a medical man named
W. K. Dult, L.F.P. and S. Glas. and L.R.C.P. Ed., who was
charged with having caused the death of a child, five years
old, by administering an enema containing 144 grains of
carbolic acid, being 1 in 60. The jury found the death had
been caused by a rash and negligent act, but strongly
recommended him to mercy. He was fined 500 rupees.

MISCELLANEOUS FORMULAE.

Loss of Hair. — In case of general thinning and loss of
hair when the exciting cause has been largely due to
dandruff of the scilp : —

Tinct. of saponin 5 1J

Fluid petroleum.. .. .. .. .. ..5 1

Mercury oleate .. .. .. .. .. . . 3 1$

Sig. : — Shake well, after which pour a small quantity in the
palm of the hand, rub between the hands, and then apply
with friction to the scalp. — Medical Times.

Waterproof Lac. — The lac with which gossamer and
other articles made out of guttapercha were covered to give
them their shirjy appearance, but without having any detri-
mental influence upon their waterproof properties, is made
thus : —

Grammes

Gm. lac COD

Borax 200

Aniline black 2-3

The borax is dissolved in hot water, the lac gradually
added, the whole boiled to perfect solution, and the aniline
at last added. This lac is waterproof, and is applied by
being spread over the article with a linen rag dipped into
the solution.

More expensive is the folio wing recipe :-Onepart of common
black guttapercha is dissolved in 5 to 6 parts of sulphuretted
carbon, and applied with a camel's-hair brush. This lac pos-
sesses the property of always being elastic, no matter to
what temperature of our a'mosphere it may be exposed.

To Fasten Labels to Tin. — According to a writer in
the Pharmacentische Ccrtralhalle a good method for making
labels adhere to zinc or iron is to carefully roughen the
surface of the metal with sand-paper, then to coat it with a
solution of an alkaline silicate, and, lastly, apply the label. It
is important that the silicate solution should be painted on
the roughened metal, and not on the label.

A Palatable Cough Mixture. — The most elegant and
palatable cough mixture ever prescribed by Dr. J. Milner
Fothergill is, he says, the following : —

Syr. scilliE .. .. .. .. .. . . 3j,

Aeitl. hydrobrorrjic. dil. .. .. .. .. 3ss.

Spirit, chloroform. .„ 3ss.

Aqua; Jj.

To Restore Faded Ink. — In order to restore faded ink
all that is necessary, according to the Boston Journal of
Chemistry , is to moisten the paper with water and brush
over the writing with a solution of sulphide of ammonium.
The ink will become black immediately, from the formation
of the black sulphide of iron. Of course this means of resto-
ration is not applicable with aniline inks.

Renovating Old Oil-paintings. — In cleansing old
paintings that have become dingy with soot and coal-dust
substances are frequently employed that injure the painting
by acting on the lighter and more delicate tints and shades.
Von Bibra has discovered a method which, according to
Wieck's Gcncrbe Zeitung, is both safe and rapid. The
painting is first removed from the frame, and the dust and
smoke brushed off with a pencil or feather. After this it
is washed with a sponge dipped in well-w.iter. It is next
covered with a thick layer of soap ; shaving soap is the best
for the purpose, because it remains moist and does not dry
on. After the soap has been on eight or ten minutes it is
all washed off with a strong brush or pencil, adding a little
water if necessary. The soap that still adheres is rinsed off
sufficiently with water, and the picture left to dry. When
completely dry it is further cleansed with nitro- benzol.
This chemical preparation is also known as nitro-benzine,
artificial oil of bitter almonds, essence of mirbane, and is a
yellowish, oily (very poisonous) liquid, with a powerful
smell of bitter almonds. It is formed when coal-tar benzol
is mixed with fuming or concentrated nitric acid under
suitable precautions. The nitro-benzol is poured into a dish
or soup-plate, and a clean linen rag dipped in it, and passed
over the painting. This quickly removes all the adherent
dirt. This linen rag must be frequently exchanged for a
clean one. When the rag remains clean after going over it

repeatedly the cleansing is finished. If the colours look dull
after going over it the last time and letting it dry, it is
given a thin coat of the finest olive oil, and after a while
must be varnished with a good, quickly- drying varnish. It
is claimed that the dirtiest oil-paintings, when cleansed
as above described, acquire their original colours and
freshness.

Treatment of Hay-fever. — Mr. W. F. Phillips, An-
dover, records in the British Medical Journal a case of hay-
fever successfully treated by belladonna. He gave first,
succus belladonnas m. xxiv., (afterwards m. xxx.) in aquam
ad 5113, A teaspoonful every hour until relieved.

For Facial Erysipelas, says the Chicago Medical
Review, the following may be painted over the parts affected
once every two hours, a thin layer of cotton being placed
over the parts immediately afterwards: Ac. catbolici, sp.
vini rect., of each, Jj. ; sp. terebinth, ; tr. iodinii, 5j. ;
glycerine, 5 v. M.

The Blue Man of Missouri is mentioned in the
American medical journals. Wten about fifteen, he took
five drops of a solution of nitrate of silver, containing
20 grains to the ounce, and continued this for five or six
months. At the end of that time he observed that his face
and hands were becoming dark. This colour has become
permanent, and hence his sobriquet. Nitrate of silver is
sometimes used as a remedy in epilepsy.

DR. Banks, of Dublin, Senior Physician in Ordinary in
Ireland to Her Majesty, Regius Professor of Physic in the
University of Dublin, representative of the Royal University
on the General Medical Council, has been offered aknighthood,
which he has respectfully and gratefully begged to be allowed
to decline. A knighthood is understood to be a lower grade of
honour than a baronetcy, and as the higher distinction is that
wherewith English and Scotch physicians to Royalty are
generally decorated, Dr. Banks has, we think, most properly
refused to permit the medical profession in Ireland to be
thus slighted through him.

Hospital Sunday. — The collections in London this year
reached 32,243Z , which was rather less than was received last
j ear. The Distribution Committee seems to have taken
great pains to apportion the money, which was divided
between ninety-seven hospitals and fifty-one dispensaries.
The largest sum, 3,011£, was paid to the London Hospital
Sir E. H. Corrie remarked that 30,00i)Z. was hardly a sum
worthy of the vast wealth of the metropolis, and he men-
tioned that one church alone (St. Michael's, Chester Square)
had sent in 1,000J.

Administration of Chloroform to Sleepers. —
We read now and then, says the Scientific American, of
cases in which burglars are supposed to have rendered their
victims unconscious by holding cloths wet with chloroform
to keyholes before entering an apartment. Of course the
absurdity of such a fiction is sufficiently apparent. Whether
sleepers can be made to pass from natural to chloroform
sleep, if the chloroform is held near to the face, is still a
question. Sometimes the experiment has succeeded, but in
five experiments recently made to determine the fact, every
one of the sleepers experimented upon woke at the expira-
tion of three minutes, before they had come under the
influence of the drug.

Medical Baronetcies. — So far as we {British Medical
Journal) can learn, twenty-six baronetcies have been con-
ferred on members of the medical profession during the last
hundred years. George HI. bestowed baronetcies on Sir
Walter Farquhar (1790), Sir Richard Jebb,* Sir Everard
Home,* and Sir Henry Halford (1801)). George IV. gave
baronetcies to Sir M. Tierney* and Sir Astley Cooper (1821).
William IV. conferred baronetcies on Sir Charles Mans-
field Clarke (1831), and Sir Benjamin Brodie (1834).
We believe the following is a complete list of the
baronetcies bestowed on members of our profession
by Her Majesty: Sir James Clark (1837), Sir Henry
Marsh,* Sir'Thilip Crampton (1839), Sir Henry Holland
(1853), Sir Charles Locock (1857), Sir William Fergusson

The baronetcies marked * are extinct. Of the eighteen
medical baronets created during the present reign eight
survive. Of the eighteen Victorian baronetcies, eleven have
been given to ph} sicians, five to surgeons, and two to ob-
stetric physicians. All the eight medical barone's now living
practise in London.

BANKRUPTCIES AND LIQUIDATIONS.

A first meeting of the creditors of Frederick Charles Moss
Millar, chemist, of Woodland Leigh, Braddons Hill It >ad
East, Torquay, was held at the offices of Messrs. Hooper &
Woollen, at Torquay, on July 20. Mr. A. J. Davy was
elected chairman. The statemt it of affairs produced
showed the amount owing to unsecured creditors to be
313Z. 4s. id. ; creditors for rent, rates, and taxes, 29Z. 4.?. 7d. ;
total liabilities, 342/. 18s. Wd. Assets, consisting of fur-
niture at Woodland Leigh, Torquay, estimated to be worth
150/. Liquidation by arrangement was agreed on. Mr. A.
J. Davy was appointed trus'ee, with Messrs. T. Oliver and
T. Viccars as a committee of inspection. Messrs. Hooper &
Woollen were entrusted with the registration, and were
also appointed solicitors to the trustee.

C. W. Smith, Manufacturing Chemist, Birmingham.

The debtor, described as residing at Woodcroft, Gravelly
Hill, near Birmingham, and carrying on business as a manu-
facturing chemist under the style or firm of " Cooper &
Smith," and " Cooper, Smith & Co ," at Catherine Street,
Aston, Birmingham, lately trading in co-partnership with
Charles Banks Cooper, under the style or firm of " Cooper &
Smith," and " Cooper, Smith & Co.," at Catherine Street,
Aston, Birmingham, filed his petition for liquidation in the
Birmingham County Court, on July 4, before Mr. Registrar
Parry, with liabilities estimated at 10,500/., and assets not
jet ascertained. Mr. Wenham was appointed trustee.

W. Alldeidge.

The first general meeting of the creditors of this
debtor, described as a chemist, druggist, and drysalter,
of 39 and 103 Summer Lane, Birmingham, was held
on July 11, at Birmingham. The statement of affairs
showed liabilites to unsecured creditors, 1,165/. 7s. Id. ;
creditors fully secured, 681/. 12.?. 5d., estimated value of
securities, 700/., surplus, 18/. 7s. 7d. ; creditors partly
secured, 187Z. 19s. 7d., less surplus from fully-secured
creditors, 18/. 7s. 7d. — 169/. 12s. ; creditors to be paid in

creditors to be paid in full, 102/. 9s. Ud. ; total assets,
239/. 10s. id. Mr. Harrison, accountant, said the debtor,
who carried on two businesses in Summer Lane, one of
which was profitable and the other unprofitable, commenced
trading thirty-four years ago without any capital. Six
years ago he believed he had a very substantial surplus
beyond his liabilities, but at that time his business began to
fall oil, and since then the condition of trade had been too
much for him to contend with. His assets were decreased
to the extent of 500/. by the depreciation which had taken
place in the value of certain property. Mr. Johnson stated
that the debtor had been robbed by his assistants ; moreover,
he had neglected to keep proper books, and consequently was
unaware of his position for some time. On debtor's behalf
he had no offer to make. It was decided to liquidate the
i sta'e, atd Mr. C. H. Harrison was appointed trustee, with a
> omnittee of inspection.

The Parcels Post is responsible for many things. One
is a series of boxes brought out by Messrs. Evans, Sons k
Co., Liverpool, under the name of " Savars' Parcels-post
Boxes," which are made to lit 4-oz., 8-oz., and 16-oz. bottles.
They are of cardboard, substantially made. We find that
they will bear ill usage, for we placed the smallest size on
the lloor and failed to break it by stamping on it.

Dr. P. B. Collier, who is now representing Scott &
Bowne in England, has sent us a sample-bottle of Scott's
emulsion. The published formula shows that it contains
50 per cent, of cod-liver oil, with 6 grains of hypophospbPe
of lime and 3 grains of hypophosphite of soda in each fluid
ounce. It is prepared with gljcerine in place of sugar, and
it is claimed that this prevents fermentative changes and
the eructations so often caused by the oil.

We have received from the Davidson Rubber Company a
sample of their No. 1 syringe, with pure block-tin pipes.
They claim that the materials and workmanship are such
that the syringe will stand fair usage in any climate far
longer than any other make. This is naturally a great con-
sideration in our colonies and in thinly-populated districts,
where it is not easy to get such instruments repaired. An
ingenious modification of the suction end allows the tube to
be hung up to drain after use.

Terms. —Announcements are inserted In this
oolumn at tho rate of one halfpenny per word,
on condition that name and address are added.
Name and address to be paid for. Price in
figures counts as one word.

If name and address are not included, one
penny per word must be paid. A number will
then be attached to the advertisement by the
Publisher of The Cbemist and Druggist, and
all correspondence relating to it must be
addressed to the "Publisher of The Chemist
and Druggist, Colonial Buildings, Cannon
Street, London, E.C.," the envelope to be
endorsed also with the number. The Publisher
will transmit the correspondence to the adver-
tiser, and with that his share in the transaction
will cease.

Deposit of Money. — In order to ensure
safety we offer the following system : — The
purchaser of anything advertised in the Ex-
change Column may remit the amount to us.
We shall acknowledge receipt to both parties by
post-cards, and shall only pay it away on the
advice of the remitter. Whether returned to
him or paid to tho seller, we charge a com-
mission of Gd. on any transaction of 3/. or less,
or Is. if above that amount.

Advertisers in the Exchange Column will
find it very much to their advantage to draw up
their announcements so that they will fall
naturally into one of the divisions into which
the advertisements are grouped.

We would also suggest that those who avail
themselves of the Disposal section will be wise
to define, with some approach to detail, what
they have to sell. Probable purchasers are too
busy, in most cases, to enter into preliminary
correspondence, which is likely enough to have
no ultimate result.

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

THE Board of Trade statistics for July continue to furnish
evidence that the trade of the nation is not progressing,
while that section of it which has to do with chemical pro-
ducts is evidently in a far from thriving condition. The
value of the imports for the month was 34,320,066/ , which
was about 340,000/., or nearly 1 per cent., less than in July,

1882. A very large increase of meat and animals imported
partly balances a considerable diminution in the quantities
of cereals. The exports were valued at 20,81 7, 724/. in July,

1883, and 21.374,978/. in July, 1882. The following are the
figures relating to chemicals : —

July, 1882 July, 1883

Alkali cwt. 667,024 .. 479,990

Ditto value £179,115 .. £102.426

OtL er chemicals , £200,968 .. £171,002

Mincing Lane, August 13, 1883.

We are glad to be able to state that the improvement in
trade which we noticed in our last report, has continued and
increased, having extended to more articles and thus become
more general. During the past week a quieter tone has
prevailed agaio, but this is always the case with Bank-holi-
day weeks, when so many of the leaders of trade take
advantage of the Bank holiday to add a few more days of
rest to it.

We regret to say that since the date of our last, report the
hand of death lias been busy, and that two well-known and
highly-respected old members of the Mincing Lane Rooms
have passed away to their last resting-place.

One or two small failures have also taken place, but they
are so small as to need no further mention. The drug sales
have gone off with the same flatness as has characterised
them of late, those of last week being remarkably dull and
uninteresting.

The long-continued facing off in the shipment of alkalies
is a bad feature, and is now becoming a matter for serious
consideration amongst those most interested.

Acids. — There has been a fair business doing in both
citric and tartaric, especially the latter, at 1*. G%d. for
foreign, I*. l^d. for English.

In Citric Arid the good position we mentioned in our last,
report has been maintained, sometimes with more, some-
times with less tirmness, and to-day the price was 1». 8W.
per lb. for spot, and Is. 9d. for forward delivery.

There is, however, still a large stock in second hands
which, together with a prevailing disposition on the part of
one or two makers to sell directly the article seems to attain
anything like a firm position, always appears to tend to
keep citric in bad odour as a speculative article.

Oxalic meets with but very poor demand at Gd. per lb.

Aloes.— Cape maintain their position, and in last public
sales, out of 58 cases offered, about half sold at 47s. to 60*-.,
whilst really fine qualities command more.

Curai.oa are worth 50.?. to 77s. Gd. per cwt.

Alum. — A steady trade doing at unchanged prices of 6/.
per ton for loose in lump, and 61. 10s. ground in bags.

Antimony continues steady, although the repeated offers
of small lots in bags in public sale make it easy to buy one
ton so packed at the price of ten ton lots in cases, Lamely,

Ilcgulux steady at 40/.

Arsenic, 10s. 6d. to Us. per cwt. landed. Small sales.
Balsams are lower, with hardly any demand. Peru, 10s.
to 10*. Gd. ; Capivi, 2*. 2d. ; Tolu, 2s. per lb.

' Bark.— In last sales on July 31, although the quantity of
south American and East Indian offered was less than usual,
orices were decidedly easier, and a flat tone prevailed
throughout the sales, except with regard to the druggists'
quality which, being only in very limited quality, sold well.
Df 4,500 packages South American offered, only some 200
«old, and of 1,250 bales East Indian offered a very large pro-
portion had to be bought in, although it was evident that

importers wished to sell even at lower rates. It is difficult
to reconcile the extremely dull character of these sales
with the subsequent rise in quinine.

Bleaching Powder having been in steadily increasing
demand has advanced to 11. 10s. per ton, and is very firm
thereat.

Borax, without change, at 58s. per cwt. nett to G Is., less
2\ per cent.

Calumba Root sold in last sales at again lower figures ;
17s. to 23s. per cwt. for low to middling qualities.

Camomile Flowers. — The new crop of Belgian camo-
miles has now come into the London market, and is not up
to the usual standard. The flowers are of a somewhat
dwarfed character, and not so tone as those of last year.
The usual high prices were asked for first arrivals, but
rapidly declined to 65s. per cwt. At the end of hist week,
however, a recovery took place, and new are to-day worth
70s. per cwt. Some flowers, finer in character but of last
year's growth, are obtainable at 45s. per cwt. Brown and
old sorts are worth 15s. to 25s. per cwt. We do not expect
to see prices much lower, and should the big French buyers,
who are at present holding off, be forced to come into the
market they may have to pay more in order to fulfil their
requirement s.

Camphor must be quoted easier at 05s. for fine raw
Japan. English reSned, 12^/. per lb. in quantity ; French
rctined, \\\d.

Cardamoms are d?arer at 5s. \\d. to 8s. per lb. for Malabar
sorts, although at these prices more were bought in than
sold at last public sales.

Chirf.tta was conspicuous by its absence from last
public sales, although we doubt not a large quantity could
readily be found at from 3\d. to id. per lb.

Cloves. — Zanzibar still Id. per lb. for fair bright, with a
firmer feeling during the last few days.

Cochineal continues very dull at lower prices of from
\0d. to Is. Id. per lb.

Cod-liver Oil we do not make to be quite so firm. Of
32 casks Norwegian offered in last sales only 10 new slightly-
tinged sold at 14s. 6^., the rest being bought in at 12s. to
14s. per gallon.

Cream of Tartar has been advanced to 133s. per cwt.,
at which price it, was quiet.

Cubebs are perhaps not qu^e so firm at 10/. 5s. to 10/. 10s.
per cwt,

Ergot of Rye is easy at 8d. for fair Russian.

Essence of Lemon unchanged at 4s. Gd. to Gs. Gd. per lb.

Galls are quiet at 48s to 50s. Gd. per cwt. for Turkey
sorts ; China galls, 59s. to 61s. per cwt.

Gentian Root is easier to obtain for arrival, hence prices
are a little lower at 30s. per cwt. for spot, 28s. per cwt. for
forward delivery.

Glycerine quiet at 75s. per cwt. best.

Iodine very quiet &ti$d. to 5d. per oz.

Ipecacuanha was easier at 2s. lid. to 3s. 9^/. per lb.
Damaged qualities from 2s. Id. to 3s. 5d.

Isinglass. — Notwithstanding the continuance of but
moderate supplies of East India isinglass the trade demand
is very limited, and prices show no signs of improvement.
At the public sales on July 24, 355 packages were offered,
and only about one-third of these were disposed of with
difficulty at prices in buyers' favour. Penang and Saigon
leaf fully 2d. cheaper; Penang tongue rather cheaper,
although occasionally steady rates were obtainable; purse,
about Id. lower ; Kurrachee leaf almost unsaleable, although
a few cases of reddish found buyers at the reduced price of
2s. Gd. All other sorts were bought in. Penang. — Of 177
cases 80 sold : Leaf, fine pale, 4s. Id. to 4s. 2d. ; good pick-
ings, 3s. 3d. to 3s. id.; lower sorts, 2s. to 2s. lid. ; purse,
middling and good, lOd. to ll^d. ; low, 3$d. ; toDgue, good
pale, 3s. lOd. to 3s. Ud. ; dark to good middling, 3s. id. to
3s. Id. ; lower sorts, Is. 8d. to 2s. 8d. Saigon. — Of 75 pack-
ages 14 sold; Leaf, good stout pale, 4«. 2d.; inferior and
rough, 3s. 8d. ; mixed pale circular, 4s ; tongue, very papery,

THE CHEMIST

AND DRUGGIST.

[Augu-t 15, 1883.

1*. Id. Bombay. — 103 cases offered, 22 sold: Pipe, red
glassy, 3a ; dark reddish, 2.9. id.\ ihin rejections, la \\d.;
old tooeuo. good middling to "rdinary, 2."!. id. to 2.5. Id. ;
purse, mixrtd. hold and ordinary, Sd. ; inferior small, 5±d. ;
leaf, very red Kurrachee, 2s &tt, per lb.

Jalap from Sd. to Is., according to quality.

Lemon Juice. — 231. per pip?, f.o.b. Messina, is now the
price.

Morphia Salts are quote! at unchanged rates, although
with some degree of caution on account of the unsettled
position of opium.

Opium has been in an excited state, an! although stocks
are fully 1,300 packages, not more than 200 can be called
available, the remainder at present being withdrawn
from the market pending an accurate report upon the
present harvest. For what is to be had in the market, price
is from 12.s'. to 20*. per lb., according to quality.

Oils. — Aniseed quiet at 7s. Sd per lb. ; Citronelle, lower
and flat, at \~-;d. per oz. ; Lemon. Grass, l$d. per oz. American
■peppermint oils have been much talked about lately, and
higher prices are asked, but which, as a rule, buyers have
refused to submit to. The usual crop report is represented
to be the cause of the rise, and much has been said about
the failure of this year's peppermint crop. No doubt the
stock is smaller than it has been for years, but at the same
time we believe there is yet a fair quantity lying in London
and elsewhere, and sufficient to meet requirements. H. G.
Hotchkiss, 13.?. per lb. asked, and Hale and Parshall, 12a. 6d.
per lb.

Otto of Roses. — The new crop prices have now been
made known, and, as anticipated by us in our former reports,
although less than those of last year they do not show a
considerable reduction upon previous ra»es. Thus, Messrs.
Ihmsen & Co.'s f.o.b. price of 35.?. for Turkish ounce is but
Is. 6d. less than last year's opening price of 36.?. 6d., which
was afterwards increased to 38.?. The position of the
article in Constantinople is extremely firm, and, as soon as
prices were generally quoted, some large business took place
in London in all qualities, buyers showing some anxiety to
get their orders booked. From present circumstances it
appears highly improbable that prices will be any lower
throughout the season ; in tact, should any change take place
later on, it is more likely, judging by the present outlook, to
be the other way.

Pimento. — Stocks, by some large deliveries of late, have
been much reduced, and are now ahout 22,500 packages.
Price is also lower : and finest quality may be bought at 3d.

Potash. — ■Chlorate is dull of sale at 5\d. per lb ; Prus-
siate, 9^d. to 9^d. ; and Bichromate quiet at 5d. per lb.

Potassium Iodide' very quiet, at 5a. 6d. per lb. English,
lloque's French make, 5a. ihi., paekiges free.

Quassia Wood lower again, and in last public sale?
55 tons sold " on account of whom it may concern " at 40.?.
to 42.?. per ton.

Quicksilver higher at 51. 12a. 6d. per bottle, but 51. 10a.
in second hands, and very quiet thereat.

Quinine is higher. On the fith inst. German makes were
advanced to 7a. Gd. per oz. in tin, in consequence of which,
and a corresponding advance in American makes, Messrs.
Howard & Son, on the following day advanced their price to
8a. per oz. in 1-cz. vials. We fail to find that much business
has resulted, but, on the contrary, second-hand lots of each
sort are now being offered at a little less than makers' prices.
We hear nothing more about the reported combination of
American and Continental manufacturers.

Rhubarb is in very fair demand at 3.?. to 3a. 8d, per lb.
for good qualities.1

Saltpetre, 24a. to 25a. per cwt. for refined. Qjiet market.

Saffron. — Valentia qualities have gone a trifle lower at
from 39a. to 43.?. per lb., and are now very steady thereat.
Alicante sort3 unchanged at 25a. to 30a. per lb.

Salicine, 7a. 6d. per lb., with a quiet trade doing.

Santoninb, quiet at 12a. &d. per lb.

Soda. — Crystals continue in a steady and good position
at 31. 10.?. per ton, ex ship. Bicarbonate, 71. 15a. per ton,

landed. Caustic easier, at 81 15a. cream and 01. per ton
white.

Sulphate of Ammonia is a trifle lower at 16Z. 10a.
per ton giey and 17^. 10a. per ton white.

Sulphate of Copper. — Telegraph crystals have become
very scarce for spot delivery. Nominal price, 24Z. per ton.

Sulphur, 10a. 6d. to 12a. per cwt. for flowers ; 9a. to 10a.
roll, ex warehouse. Steady trade. Sulpha- carbonate, of
Potash for vine-dressing, 26Z. p^r ton delivered in London,
petroleum-casks free.

Vanilloes remain fairly firm at the lower prices of 15a.
to 22s. per lb.

Wax. — Carnauba has become very scarce, and 105a. is the
present price. Small quantities, 110a. per owt.

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

417

The Proposed Pharmacy Bill-
To TJte Chemist and Druggist —

Sir,— Having put a copy of my lecture on " The Proposed Changes in
he Pharmacy Act of 18GS " into the hands of an old personal frieud, who
is also one of the soundest as well as ablest lawyers in Glasgow, and who
ias loDg taken an interest in pharmaceutical matters, he has kindly
avoured me with the accompanying notes on it. As my friend deals with
he lecture and the questions discussed in it from " an outsider's " point of
-iew, it occurs to me that pessibly his judgment may carry more weight
vith it than that of one engaged in the trade, like myself.

If you share with me in this opinion, and you can make room for the notes,
will only ask you to add this one note of my own on my friend's criticism,
hope your readers will ponder well the remarks on the " keeper and seller "
1 an open shop, for I bold that if his views i which have all along been my
wn) on that point be correct, and the Bill ba cirried as it now stands, the
?sult will be the closing of at least nineteen out of every twenty chemists
nd druggists' shops in the country, and the promotion of the co operative
.ores and of the large and wealthy grocers as the great dispensers of pre-
•riptions in the future. They can afford to put " qualified " men at the
ack of their dispensing counters though the country chemist can not.

I am. Sic,

d.vn1el fra7.er.

Notes on ted Pharmacy Acts Amendmsnt Bill, 1383.
This Bill seem* to be framed in a very involved and confused way,
id eome of its clauses seem to be at variance with each other.
The preamble is the raison d'etre of the Bill, and proceeds to say that,
r the safety of the public, any seller (in) or keeper of an open shop for
e retailing, &c, of poisons and prescriptions should pois ss a competent
illed knowledge. Sic.

It will be observed that, although the language is not very grammatical,
c preamble draws a distinction betwten a seller in a shop and a keeper of
.hop, and lightly so, because, while a keeper may or may not be a seller,
d a seller may or may not be a keeper, still the important factor, so far
the public is concerned, is the teller or vtndor, and so Clauses 2, 3, 4. and
ire specially directed against the vendor.

It may or may not be the case that this alternative provision is directed
ainst co-operative stores ; but if the Bill passes in its present state there
uld appear to lie good ground for argument whether a co operative store
lid be held to be "an open shop for the retailing, dispensing, or com-
tnding of poisons and medical prescriptions." It might well be argued
t co-operative stores existed primarily for the sale of teas and groceries,
I that patent medicines were only incidental and accidental,
lowever that may be, Clause 2 is very stringent against all stilus by
ail, and might possibly, notwithstanding the preamble, effect the actual
.dor in a co-operative store. There seemingly is, however, no doubt that

prohibition attaches to every vendor in a chemist's shop, whether
dified or not, because, in the case of assistants vending, Section 7 gives
m relief against the keeper of the shop for their ouaii criminat offence

a contravention of the Act. Were this relief for a quasi criminal
ncn not conferred by the Act, the responsibility and penalty would rest
h the vending shopman. And it is to be remembered that this is a
lonsibility over and alove, and beyond, what an employer is bound for
he public for his servants.

lauEc 4, as to the labelling of patent medicines, may be bi iefly said to be
tal prohibition against the sale of foreign patent medicines unless the
r is prepared to accept the penalty, a3 there is little chance of his
ivering it from the foreign vendor, and, indeed, the whole process of

recovery is left by Section (i in a very incohate form,
pction 8 specially provieles that the duly-qualified keeper, if he dors not
himself in the Bale by retail in any particular shop, shall, in lieu
< eof, appoint a duly qualified person to be the retail vendor, and.
: irently to make more cxpli :it what is intendel by this clause, Section f)
: onsly proceeds to declare, it shall bcnnlawful to sell by retail unless the
s r ami the keeper possess certain legal qualifications, so that, apparently,
t ugh all these clauses the Legislature intends to disqualify every person
f i beiDg an actual vendor of the scheduled articles. &c, who is not
n crly qualified, whether he be a druggists' assistant or otherwise.

great r- |»»i>il>ilit) b|»i«*rs t-. )»• d.-vel.>|„-.| upon tin- Pharmaceutical
- :ty of Groat Britain, find doubtless it could not be in better hands.
3 on 2 imposes the duty of from time to time declaring what should be
a 1 te, the Schedule of Poisonous articles, and Section 10 an 1 the remain-
Si actions of the Pill provide the most elaborate machinery for the
rj tration of sillers Id, and keepers of, open shops, the examination and
a ication of such sellers and keeper! and the recovery and application
o naltlc.

an outsider the Bill seems to be open to the objection that it pro-
P i to mislead the public with regard to patent medicines by causing

them all to be branded as " Poison." It may be, and very likely is, the
case that in many of these natent articles some drug is used which would
be a poison in certain doses and unier certain circumstances ; but might
not this be said of almost every article in the mateiia inedica ? It might
have be?n sufficient protection for the public if the article were otherwise
labelled, so as not to carry on the face of it a manifest untrnth.

In conclusion, the Bill would be much improved by a careful revision by
its draughtsmen, and with the addition of an interpretation clause, so as
to remove some of the obscurities of its provisions.

one; ask some of the Sheffield druggists to supply a better."

/.. D. (Dieppe).— Bay Rum, as used in the United States, is made bytiiS'
tilling the leaves and berries of the bay-berry (lJint nta acris, ifyrita
ucHs) in rum. The leaves, according to A. H. RUse, in a paper read before
the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, May 16, 1882, " are mixed in the
still with the ripe berries in given proportions. The ethereal oil of the
berries has a much stroneer aroma than that derived from the leaves, and,
consequently, a bay-rum distill 'd from the berries along with the leaves
has a much stronger odour, and keeps its flavour longer than if distillod
from the leaves alone." In this our correspondent will observe there is
nothing inconsistent with making bay rum from the leaves alone, or even
in making it from the oil derived from the leaves. Considerable licence in
frequently tiken with toilet preparations, and although a bay rum made
artificially (this is without distillation) from the oil (from the leaves) would
certainly be inferior to one distilled in the manner above indicated, we see
no reason why it should not be accepted for what it really is, namely, an
inferior imitation. Further information will be got by reading the paper
referred to above, and also one by Professor JIarkoe on " Bay Oil," Trans-
actions, American Pharmaceutical Association, 1878. Oil of the berries of
Pimento acris canDot I • obtained In this country.

for the preparation is as follows : —

Place in a bottle holding a little more than 1 pint, cork securely, and
place the bottle in a water-bath at about 140° Fahr., shaking from time to
time until all the salt has been dissolved. Whan cold, filter if necessary
through a little wool, and pour into it gradually the 7 pints of distilled
spirit. Solution may be effected without trie aid of heat, but not nearly so
readily : whil" it is apt to deposit crystals at low temperature.

The product will measure 1 gallon ; its specific gravity is -8Kii, and it
contains 3*45 per cent, of normal ammonium carbonate, and 1*23 per cent,
of (res ammonia. Whilst not quite so strong as it is possible to make a
spirit of ammonia by the official process, it is considerably above the
average strength of the sal volatiles of commerce. From the more dilute
character of the spirit none of the carbonate is thrown out of solution even
at 0° C and by the continuing the distillation a little beyond the point
row ordered (in the British Pharmacopoeia) , the w hole of alcohol is con-
tained in the finished product instead of a portion being wasted as here-
tofore.

In our February issue, page 5'), we discuss the advantages and disadvan-
tages of this process. The distillation seems to have special importance,
and it is recommended to keep the distillate for a considerable time before
adding to it thi ammonia, to allow the odour, which is faint at first, to
develop and mellow. The addition of the ammonia when this change has
taken place produces a charming fragrance.

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[August 15, 1883.

An Anti vaccinator on Sir Lyon Playfair's Facts.

To The Otemisl and Druggist—

Sir— With Sir Lyon Playfair's speech published in last month's Chemist
and Druggist, yon were candid enough to insert it* anti and ante dote in
the shape of the crushing speech of Mr. Peter Taylor, a remarkable recent
convert to anti- vaccination views. Whilst the latter speech is brimful of
solid and indisputable facts most damaging to the doctrines of those who
believe in vaccination, and who would in their fanaticism endeavour to
enfcrce it with repeated penalties, the speech of the former gentleman
abounds in fallacies of a most glaring description. I will, with your per-
mission, make a few remarks on Sir Lyon Playfair's " remarkable " speech.

It is indeed a " remarkable " circumstance that any man should get up
in Pa-lianient and laud a practice about which pro-vaccinator3 themselves
are not agreed. Some advocate " human lymph," others "calf lymph,"
and the greattst confusion prevails. Sir Lyon Playfair admits that the
transmission of syphilis by vaccination is " possible." Is it not more than
" possible" ; is it not probMe that this occurs much more frequently than
is ever recorded ? Hence the warning as to the " ghastly risk " pointed
out by Sir Thoma9 Watson in the Nineteenth Cen'ury, June, 188®.

Is it worth while to run this risk, even if vaccination it a preventive or
modifier of small pox 1 Is any parent justified in incurring such a fearful
risk in the vaccination of his child for the sake of preventing a disease
which it is not at all probable it will ever be subject to ?

This is one of the risks— the most ghastly of the many— that vaccination
renders the subject liable to. Vaccination was made compulsory in 1853,
and yet, after twenty years (in 1870-71-72) of the almost universal
enforcement of the practice, we had the most devastating epidemic of the
century, for in 1870-71-72 the deaths from small-pox rose to 44,840 (for
this and other astounding facts see Pearce's " Vital Statistics"), vacci-
nated and uuvaccinated dyin* alike. Let me here remark that no anti-
vaccinator declares that an u/i-vaceinated person i-i not liable to take
small pox, if that person lives under such conditions as produce and foster
it. The only preventive of small-pox and all other zymotic diseases is a
doing av<ay with the causes of tho^e diseases. "Remove the cause, and
the effect will cease." This is the only logical conclusion to come to.
Jenner said, '• Once vaccinated, protected for life " ; or to quote his words :
— "Bu - what renders the cow-pox virus so extremely singular is that the
person who has been thus affected is for ever after secure from the infection
of the smallpox, &c. ' A most presumptuous statement to make! Since
his day we have had thousands of vaccinated persons die from small-pox,
Sir Lyon Playfair him-elf admitting, as he was bound to, the same con-
demnation of the practice. His contention appears to be solely that the
unvaccinated die in greater proportion than the vaccinated. Well,
admitting for argument's sake that they do (although the figures put
forward by interested pro-vaccinators are open to grave criticism and
question), we have to ask the question, " Why were they ua vaccinated ?'
ani the answer will account for the greater mortality if such is really the
case. It is this : they were most probably infants of naturally delicate
constitution, children of these whose very mode of living is a cause of
small pox, and hence they would be mere liable to take small-pox or any
other disease and succumb to it.

Sir Lyon Playfair says, " Now if sanitation affected small pox so greatly,"
&c. Tr.e small decrease of other diseases among children under five years
of age is probably owing to the injuri us practice of vaccination.
Promote sanitation and aboli-h vaccination, which is blood-poisoning,
and we should most certainly see the death rate much reduced.
■ Your space will not admit of any further comments on Sir Lyon Playfair's
' flummery " ; but if any of your readers do not know much about the
question, acd would like to dip deeper into it, I shall be happy to scud them
copies of the b'a'ion'il Ann compulsory Vaccination Reporter (which has
this month, amongst other items, an artie'e on Sir Lyon Playfair's
"flummery";, cr toe Vaccination Inquirer, by means of both of which
papers the vaccination question is being rapidly pushed to the front, and
the day will c me wl en vaccination will be more generally— even
universally — denounced as a huge sham and a fearful delusion, and when
the iniquitous Vaccination Acts will be regarded as the greatest piece of
despotism of the nineteenth century.

I am, sir, yours faithfully,
16 and 17 Cliffe, Lewes, August 2. W. T. Martin.

p.S.— It appears that in an "author'sed edition" of Sir Lyon Playfair's
and Sir Charles Dilke's speeches on Mr. P. A Taylor's motion, entitled
"Facts about Vaccination," the first '-fact" given is that Mr. P. A
Taj lor is the M.P. for Nottingham. This error may be taken as a specimen
of the " facts " to be found fr^m the beginn ng to the end of the book.

The Elevation of Pharmacy.

To The Cfiemut and Druggist —

Sir, — It has been the custom of a certain class of medical men in this
district to conduct practice in a style vindictively hostile to the retail
pharmacist, any prescription which a patient persists in sending to a
regular chemist being carefully rendered anremunerative by ordering only
some small proprietary preparation therein, and the patient being told that
he is not to pay more than the co-operative price for it. It is the opinion
of the retail branch of the business that occult verbal instigations and?
suggestions to the pursnance of this policy are not conducive to the
" elevation of pharmacy " in general, nor to that of respectable pharmacists
in particular, in spite of the professions of sympathy reported from the
Council of Blootnsbury Square. There remains more to be said, if necessary.

I am, yours obedieutly,

A Midland Chemist.

103/27. F. IT.— Bleaching Spongee.— The subjoined is from the
July number of New Remedies : —

Several correspondents of the Pharmaceutische Zeitung communicate
methods for blotching sponges, all of which we have been acquainted with
ourselves, and which we can recommend as quite satisfactory.

1. First clem, wash, and squeeze out the sponges ; then dip them into a
2 per cent, solution of permanganate of potassium. Here they become
quite brown (from separated manganic oxide) ; after ten minutes they are
taken out, washed in water, again well pressed, and then dipped into a
2 per cent, solution of oxalic acid [we prefer diluted sulphuric (1 to 30)
or diluted hydrochloric acid (1 to 15)], in which they become perfectly
white. Success mainly depends on the soaking in the permanganate solu-
tion ; if they are macerated too short a time, they do not become
thoroughly white ; if too long, they are apt to become rotten (Dr.
Siemens).

2. First clean the sponges by immersing them in diluted hydrochloric
acid. Then soak them in the bleaching liquid, composed of hyposulphite
of sodium, 1 part ; water, 12 parts ; and hydrochloric acid, 2 parts. After
some time they are removed and well washed. To the last wash water a
little glycerine is added in order to preserve the sponges soft. The liquid
s best pressed out by passing the sponges through a clothes- wringer.

3. Toilet sponges, which have been in use, often become peculiarly slimy,
fatty, and almost u eless, owing to some action of the soap. Mere washing
in distilled water does not remove the difficulty. It may be overcome by
using fused chloride of calcium. The sponge is pressed as much as possi-
ble, placed on a plate, the powdered chloride of calcium sprinkled upon itr
and allowed to deliquesce upon the sponge. After about half an hour the
sponge may be washed in na'erand dried, when it will become white
(M. v. Valta).

Though all the above processes tnrnish sati.- factory results, yet the fol-
lowing combination and modification of two of the above processes, which
was devised by Mr. John Borham, and has been in use in Bellevue Hospital
for a considerable time, will be found to work better still : —

Sosk the sponges, previously deprived of sand and dirt by beating and
washing, in a 1 per cent, solution of permanganate of potassium. Then
remove them, wash them thorough]/ with water, and press out the water.
Next put them into a solution of \ lb. of hyposulphite of sodium in
1 aallon of water, to which 1 oz. of oxalic acid lias been added, and leave
them in the solution for fifteen minutes. Finally, take them out, and wash
them thoroughly.

By this treatment the sponges are renlered perfectly white. Many
sponges contain a more or less dark-coloured, brownish coie. If treated
only with permanganate and acid, the core is either not bleach;! at all, or
if it has been somewhat bleached, the tint is apt to grow again darker.
By the above modifica-ion, every portion of the sponge is rendered white,
and remains so.

103/22. Di ns.— A chemist or anyone else may extract teeth ani charge
for doing so ; though he c innot sue for his fee if the patient refuses to pay.
It is illegal for any bat registered dentists to assume the title " dentist,"
or any other likely to lead the public to believe that they are duly re-
gistered dental practitioners. To become registered a diploma must be-
obtained by passing certain examinations, full details of which will he
given next month.

101/63. Pyrogallic Hair-restorer. — One form used on the Con-
tinent consists of a solution of 2 parts of pyrogallic acid in 90 parts of
water, and 5 parts of perfumed spirit. The hair is first washed with
soap or a very dilute solution of washing soda, or, better, with diluted
ammonia, and thej thoroughly brushed with the solution every two or
three days.

101/31. A Reader asks for a prescription which appeared some time ag»
recommended by a German professor, for fever and ague, and said to have
been [adopted by the German Government as superior to quinine given
a'one. Can any other Reader supply this ?

A Sixteenth-century Mortar.

To The Chemist and Druggist —

Sib,— I have had lately come into my possession "a relic of ye ancient
times " in the shape of a bell-metal mortar, weight about 100 lbs., and cast
in the year 1598. Eunning round the middle of the mortar outside is a
floriated pattern, 2 inches wide, very ornamental, and about 2 inches from
the top is this inscription in plain bold characters : " R. Wright madejme,
1598." Have any of your numerous readers bo old a one, or one with the
same founder's name ?

Newport, Salop. T. W. Picken.

Celandine, writes Xenophon (42/100;, is a similar preparation to the
Russian form for cure of warts and corns yon gave in The Chemist and
Druggist some time ago, viz. : —

Parts

Acid salicylic 3u

Ex. cannabis ind 5

Collodion " 1,0

I have made the above and compared the two and see no difference.

Celandine is put up in 5ss. bottles, and retailed at li., and prepared by the

firm you name.

Sale of Spirits of Wine.— Mr. C. T. Raynor, Derby, writes : — I
have received the enclosed notice, unasked, from the Revenue Office here.
I saw in your journal some time ago that chemists could sell S. V. R. in
small quantities without licence, and thought you might wish to be
informed upon the subject.

The Inland Revenue notice referred to runs as follows : — " Respecting the
sale of spirits of wine by chemists. Chemists are not entitled to sell pure
and unmedicated spirits of wine without licence. Inland Revenue."

The statement in The Chemist and Druggist (July, 1830) was not a
blunt assertion that chemists can sell small quantities of S. V. R., but was
a letter from the secretary of the Board of Inland Revenue, in which it
was stated that " the Commissioners, having regard to the difficulty which
would otherwise be experienced by medical and scientific gentlemen in
obtaining alcohol for purposes of medical and scientific research, do not
interfere with the sale by chemists to such persons of small quantities not
exceeding 8 oz. at a time." Beyond the limits of this concession, clearly
laid down, retailers may not presume.

102/45. N. E. — Apprentices.— In onr May issue we published an arti-
cle on the law of apprenticeship, and " N. E.'s " query seems to come easily
within the principles there laid down. He asks, " Can bound shop
apprentices demand their wages for a fortnight's holiday granted by the
master ? " In the first place it seems certain that apprentices are entitlel
to reasonable holidays according to the custom of the trade. And,
secondly, as the master is bound to pay wages during the apprentice's
temporary illness, unless such illness is caused by] the apprentice's own
misconduct, he would almost certainly be bound to pay them during a
holiday granted by himself. Whether it would be wise for the apprentice
to demand them is another question, only to be decidel by taki ng many
other things into consideration.

102/46. T. B. A.— Silicate paint is evidently what yon want. Two or
more coats will make the wall damp-proof as well colour it.

Santonine — In our report of the Amsterdam Exhibition, on page 27 7
(June, 1883), it is mentioned that in the display of Mr. Merck, of
Darmstadt, "is a large bottle of santonine of a beautiful bright yellow,
put, .evidently by an error, in a white bottle." Referring to this, Mr.
Merck writes: — "You seem to be under the impre sion that I put the
santonine in a wliite glass bottle by mistake. This was, however, not the
case, as I did so deliberately, knowing, o£ course, quite well, that exposure
to the light would make the article turn yellow ; but my idea was that it
was of no use to send a product for exhibition in a bottle in which no one
could see or admire it. Just the fact of its turning jellow has the ten
dency to prove that the article is genuine, and I have found that an article
which was brought under the notice of the public some years ago with the
recommendation of being white in colour and remaining so, was boracic
acid, and not santonine at all ! "

55/39. Dfntif rice. — Armenian bole is used in making rose dentifrice, and
may answer the purpose of giving a roy tint where carmine is too expen-
sive and too purple.

102/17. K. E. R.— Megilp. Magilp. Megellup (tha name is spelt in
' many other ways) is a mixture of pale linseed oil and mastic varnish, em
i ployed by artists as a vehicle for their colours. The proportions vary
according to the work. It is thinned with turpentine.

64/100. J. P. asks whether a licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, Dublin.,
keeping open shop, is entitled to pat " chemist and druggist " on his sign
and labels ? Our correspondent writes from an English town ; we presume,
therefore, his inquiry refers to the rights of apothecaries in Great Britain,
not in Ireland. The British Act provides, in clause 17, that "nothing
hereinbefore contained shall extend to ot interfere with the business of
any legally- qualified apothecary." It is a section previous to this which
prohibits the U6e of the title "chemist and druggist" by anyone not duly
registered. At first sight, therefore, it would appear that an apothecary
was not affected by the section and might use the title. But it will be
noticed that the words of the 17th section are that nothing hereintofore,
&c, shall interfere with the business of a legally-qualified apothecary, and
we think it very doubtful whether a court would hold that it was any part
of the business of an apothecary to call himself a chemist and druggist. In
Irelanl a licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall may claim registration as a phar-
maceutical chemist on payment of the fees. As we understand, the Irish
Council having taken no steps in regard to providing a class of " chemists
and druggists," anyone may assume that title there, though he may not
sell poisons nor dispense physicians' prescriptions.

A New Zealand correspondent tells us that a customer had requested him
to serve him with 6<l. worth of " ambitious" pills. Did he do right by
giving him " antibilious " pills ?

102/16. Ignorance. — Local Secretaries to the Pharmaceutical
Society are appointed for the convenience of carrying on the Society's
operations, but they have no legal standing, nor is there anything
regulating their conduct or appointment in the charter, Pharmacy
Acts, or bye-laws. They need not be pharmaceutical chemists, and,
as a matter of faot, nine of the first twenty on the list for 1832 are not.
We presume, however, all are members or associates. Their position is
honorary and entails no legal responsibilities.

It is almost impossible to advise you what books to read for the Majors
examination without a knowledge of your present attainments. Sach's
" Botany," FlUckiger & Hanbury's Pharmacographia, Roscoe & Schorlem-
mer's " Chemistry," Atkinson's Translation of Ganot's "Pnysici," are all
useful books, but this does not exhaust the list.

102/72. R. W. — The only journal of the kind we know of is the Dyer ami
Calico Printer, " the accredited representative of the various trades con-
nected with dyeing, cleaning, bleaching, drysalting, soap and chemical
trades," published on the 1st of each month by C. Denston, 24 Bouverie
Street, E.G., price 5*. a year.

103/7. J. C. S. (Todmorden). — At present there is no rule requiring a
chemist's apprentice to pass the Preliminary examination before he can be
legally bound. The new Pharmacy Bill, if it passes, will make an altera-
tion in this respect.

We do not know of any book of instructions for a chiropodist. Can any
reader supply the information ?

102/66. G. C. — A case was tried at Cambridge towards the end of 1879
relating to a baking-powder in which all the tartaric acid had been
replaced by alum. The judge found that the use of alum in this form
was not adulteration, so that there would be no need to declare tbe com-
position on the label.

V. Erehan, in Austria, has invented a baking powder which is made of
180 parts oE crude alum, 75 parts of bicarbonate of soda, and 00 parts of
the "less basic" phosphate of lime. This last ingredient, which is de-
nominated " less basic phosphate," is the product obtained by pouring a
10-per-cent. hydrochloric acid on an equal weight of bone-meal burnt
white. On pouring water upon this baking powder carbonic acid is formed,
and sulphate of soda and potash, while the alumina separates. The alum
is completely decomposed, so that tbe inventor considers it harmless. Cne-
ounce is sufficient for 1J lb. of flour.

102/62. Verax. — A registered chemist and druggist who has been out of
business for some time should make sure that hid name is on tbe Register
before recommencing business as a chemist If his name has been removed
he should apply to the Registrar, at 17 Bloomsbury Square, to have it
reinstated.

103/3. /. W. L. (Leeds).— Quinine wine made strictly according to the
British Pharmacopoeia may be sold without patent-medi jine stamp or
sweet- wine licence, so long as the maker claims no secret or proprietary
rights, and does not recommend it for the cure of diseases.

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

[August 15, 1883.

102/65. T. II. W. asks for an excipieut for a pill mass consisting of

Pulv. aloes soc *i.

Pulv. jalapa? .. .. .. 5i-

Pulv. extr. coloc. co. .. .... .... . .. .. 51 j .

Pil. hydrarg. ., .. ... .. .. .. Jlj.

Extr. hyoscyami .« . .. .. ... .. si-

Water, rectified spirit, mucilage, and tragacanth mucilare make pills
which lose their shape directly.

[Pills made from the above formula will fall whatever excipieut is used,
unless care is taken in the massing and rounding of them. We have made
them with a mixture of alcohol and water, with a touirh extract such as
gentian, and with a slight increase in tin- proportion of hyoscyamus
extract, and we find that with care the first gives very satisfactory results,
the pills giving no indication of falling or pitting after standing twelve
hours. With the last two excipients still better results are obtained, but
they both increase the bulk of the mass. We should, therefore, say that
a mixture of spirit and water would make the best excipieut, tare bnn<i
taksn not to mail the mass soft, ani not to ujv too much friction in rounding
the pills.]

103/6. Inquirer asks what is balsam of ciyngo, ordered in a veterinary
recipe with camphor, torps, tish oil, &c. It is just possible that it may be
a preparation of water eryngo (Eryngium oguationn, or button snake-
root), although it may merely be intended foi Riga balsam.

Prepared. Cochineal. — The subjoined formula is recommended by a

first-class Loudon pharmacist : —

Powdered cochineal .. .. .. 2 parts

Carbonate of potash (salt of tartar) .. .. 3 parts

fi lycerine 8 fluid parts

Water 24 parts

Hub well together in a mortar or large earthenware vessel, then add

gradually —

Parts

Cream of tattar.. .. .. 2

Powdered alum .. 3

When effervescence has ceased, filter through a filteriug-big and set the
filtrate aside. Upon the marc pour more water until it pisses through
without any or with very little colour ; mix the two liquors and evaporate
to thirty-two fluid patts.

This preparation keeps very well ; if properly made ten minims should
give a distinct and beautiful rose tint to half a gallon of water.

FRENCH CORRESPONDENCE,

— At its session, on July 11, the Paris Municipal Council
requested the Prefect of the Seine to take steps to obtain
from the Government permission for the City of Paris to
erect furnaces for cremation in the three great cemeteries,
to be used only in times of epidemics. This is one of the'
precautions that are being taken against cholera.

— M. Vasey, the Paris pharmacien, whose severe sentence
for frequently repeating, without new prescriptions, supplies
of morphia to a Madame Tunot we mentioned in May, has
been heard in the Court of Appeal. The original sentence
was eight days' imprisonment, l.OOOf. fine, and 2,000f.
damages to the husband, and with liberty to the latter to
sue for further damages. The Court of Appeal has main-
tained the sentence of imprisonment, but has reduced the
fine to 500f., and has made the sum of 2,000f. as damages
definitive.

— At a recent meeting of the Socio te de Pharmacie, con-
vened specially to consider a report which was intended to
servers a preliminary chapter to the forthcoming edition of
the Codex, it was decided that, instead of attempting to
define a tablespoonful as a measure of weight or of volume
it would be preferable to propose to medical men to ao-ree
that, when they prescribe a tablespoonful, they are to be
understood to order a quantity equal to 15 grammes of
distilled water. At the same meeting, the size of the
normal eomptegmtte was defined that the diameter of the
tube at the point from which the drop falls should measure
3 millimetres exactly. An opinion was also expressed that
the practice of measuring certain very volatile liquids by
drops should be abandoned. "

Suggestions.

Ants on a lawn will very soon destroy its beauty. Petro-
leum is the readiest means of expelling them.

Lewii<!, quoted in the Medical Bulletin of Philadelphia,
says that during the use of balsam of copaiba, the urine
furnishes a deposit with nitric acid, wiiich consists of copai-
bic acid, and may easily be confounded with albumen.

Ung. Hydrarg. with Arsenic for Warts. — Professor
Unna recommends for the treatment of venereal and
ordinary warts the continuous application of ung. hydrarg.,
containing 5 per cent, of arsenic. A cure is effected by
resorption, not by necrotic destruction.

The Ioira Homestead learns from a subscriber at Sharon
Centre, in that State, that the way to get rid of lice on
cattle is to take water that potatoes have been boiled in,
and wash or wet the cattle thoroughly to the skin with it.
If properly applied it is a sure cure.

Santonine should be administered, according to Lewin,
of Berlin, in such form as shall prevent its ready absorption,
as when absorbed i's usefulness is at an end. He recom-
mends to mix 3 grains with 2 oz of olive or other oil ; this
quantity to be given in 4 doses.

A man advertises in the Swabian journals offering to
send for f!0 pfennige instructions how to prevent smell in
closets at a trilling cost. The Pharm. Rundschau <;ives
his advice, which is to buy some green vitriol (sulphate of
iron), costing a mere trifle, pour waterover some crystals, and
pour down the passages. The advice is dear, but is not bad

W. W. Jost (Ant. Jowfri. IViarm.) prepares tinct. iodi
by percolation by rubbing the iodine to a coarse powder,
packing it. tightly in a glass syringe capable of holding 2 oz.,
the orifice of which has been plugged with cotton wool, and
passing the alcohol slowly. By this process a pint of tincture-
can be prepared in 30 minutes.

Mosquito-bites are prevented (according to a correspon-
dent of the PJiarm. Zcit.) by painting all the exposed parts
of the body, at night, face, neck, and hands, with a tincture
made of pulv. pyrethri 20, ether acetic 10, spirit 70. Another
correspondent recommends oil of pennyroyal 1, and spirit
15. Lavender or rosmary oils, or petroleum, are also
spoken of favourably.

For moist hands acd feet, Mr. C. J. Boyd Wallis, 23
Brook Street, Grosvenor Square, recommends in the British
Medical Journal the application of the following powder : —
Acidi salicylici, ."'j.; naphthol, 5ij.: pulv. amyli, ?iv. ;
misce et adde olei eucalypti, 3'j- ; pulv. terne cimoliai
(Taylor's), ^iv. The parts should be previously washed with
20 per cent, carbolic soap.

Prevention of Fading in Shop-windows. — The Swiss
Gewerbe BUM says that fading or bleaching of goods in
shop-windows is occasioned only by the white rays of light,
and that if, instead of colourless glass, the window-panes
consist of glass which is slightly jellow, the bleaching or
fading process is prevented, or the desired effect may be
produced by simply giving the panes a coating of copal
varnish.

T. S. WiEG AND (Am. Jottrn. Pharm ), with a view of
ensuring more perfect division of the active ingredients in
pulv. ipscac. et opii, recommends as a process preferable to
that of the Pharmacopoeia the following' : — Take 1 part of

extract of opium, dry enough to powder, dissolve in a mixture
of water 3 and alcohol 1, sufficient to make a smooth paste,
with 2 parts of ipecac, and 17 parts of sugar of milk. Dry,
rub to an impalpable powder, and pass through the finest
bolting cloth.

To obtain positive copies of drawings, &c, the Photogra-
2>hie News says coat suitable paper with a two per cent, solu-
tion of bichromate of ammonium, to which a little grape
sujrar has been added, and d»y in the dark. The drawing
is laid upon it and exposed to light until the prepared paper
has assumed a gray colour. It is now dipped into a one per
cent, solution of nitrate of silver, one-tenth of the volume
of which consists of acetic acid. The positive image de-
veloped thereby consists of bichromate of silver, which be-
comes dark brown on drying.

Approved by the Academy of Medicine of Paris, and other Medical Authorities in England and Abroad

I7TTAL ENERGY, it is well known, depends upon the normal functions
of the nervo-electric fluid governing the whole economy : any- de-
iency thereof in the system manifests itself, according to the locality, by
variety of troublesome ailments, such as

THE CONTINUOUS VOLT A-ELECT RIO CURRENTS, rendered most
conveniently self- applicable by recent improvements of these Chain-

Indigestion

General Debility
Female Complaints

Physical Weakness

Sic., Sic.

This is no conjecture, hut an established scientific fact, and it must be
litted that PULVERM ACHER'S GALVANIC CHAIN-HANDS, by
plying this electrical deficiency, constitute Nature's most congenial
auve in the ailments referred to, embodying a host of remedies in one.
Thirty years' successful experience has proved the marvellous remedial
rs of these appliances, even in cases defying ordinary treatment.

Bands, although applied externally, penetrate to the innermost organs, pro-
moting il igestion, cit dilation, ami nutrition, and perform their recuperative
and restorative work in a silent, natural way, devoid of the eostliuess, un-
certainty and inconvenience of ordinary treatment, or of any unpleasant
sensation or shocks, counter-irritation, Sic.

Even a Five Shilling Band of the minimum electric power evinces its
genuineness by deflecting a telegraphic needle at many miles' distance,
whilst those of superior price and power produce all the physic il, chemical,
and physiological phenomena, possessing the famous curative powers of
the voltaic battery, enhanced by their great portability.

Mr. PULVERMACHE d refrains from advancing statements of his own
in favour of bis Medico Galvanic Appliances, but confines himself mainly
to quotations from the opinions of competent medical anil scientific
authorities, including Sir C. Locook. Bnrt., M.D., F.R.C.S.: Sir HENRY

A PURE, DRY PRODUCT FROM THE PANCREATIC GLAND.

In Powder — JPrioe 5s. per Ounce-
Rich in Diastase ; and in Trypsin* the ferment of the Pancreas which converts albumen
into PEPTONE.

Five grains of 'Extractum Pancreatis added to a pint of milk at 100° F. will convert all the casein
\i\to peptone in one hour ; the milk cannot then be curded even by strong nitric acid, or by rennet.
The only apparent change is the development of a slightly bitter taste.

In many cases it is sufficient to only partially digest the milk — for 20 to 30 minutes or so — then little
or no bitter taste is developed.

When Extractum Pancreatis is added to tepid milk — without soda — it first produces a soft, flocculent
curd, which it then gradually digests.

A few grains administered to infants in a little sweetened tepid milk often relieves the various
symptoms of indigestion caused by the formation of the hard curd of casein ; in other cases it is
necessary to peptonise the milk before feeding.

Five grains of Extractum Pancreatis added to a pint of thick, well-boiled starch gruel will
dissolve the starch and render it liquid, like water, in a few minutes, at a temperature which can be borne
by the mouth.

Five grains of this Extract of Pancreas will produce more effect upon Starch or milk than
ONE OUNCE of saccharated Pancreatine or mixture of Pancreatine, under the same condition.

Peptonised and partially peptonised milk has been extensively used with most excellent results in the
milk-indigestion of bottle-fed infants, as a food for the sick in Typhoid Fever, Gastric Catarrh, &c, and is
given for nourishment after severe operations by eminent gynecologists and surgeons in New York.

We make a Speciality of Preparations of the PURE DIGESTIVE FERMENTS both of

the STOMACH and the PANCREAS.

SCALES

Price per Ounce.

Our Pepsine in Scales is the first pepsine ever produced guaranteed free from Hydrochloric Acid, Salt,
Starch, Milk-sugar, Artificial Peptone, or any added substance. Altough the digestive strength as claimed
by us appeared phenomenal, this has been verified by actual test by some of the best pharmacists and
physicians in the country, and cannot be refuted.

The introduction ot our Pepsine in Scales caused a revolution in the manufacture and use of pepsine.
Physicians will no longer accept as pepsine milk-sugar containing a small per cent, or trace of the digestive
ferment, nor will pharmacists 'pay absurd prices for these triturations of pepsine, which they can now
themselves prepare.

One grain digests six hundred grains of albumen in four hours, in the standard acid albumen
mixture of the U.S. Pharmacopoeia. The most active and permanent pi'eparation of pepsine in the world.

THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST.

IOW DIAMON

I6INATED.

THE JD I TV I O were originated by scientific experts wbo determined

X) place before tbe people, in practical sbape for tbeir use, the magnificent dye stuffs recently discovered.

Their greatly superior quality has only been made possible by recent important chemical discoveries,
Bade by leading scientists, both European and American. Two-thirds of the colours are made from dyes
>hat were unknown two or three years ago.

In the largest factories, and for tbe finest goods, tliefe new chemical dyes are rapidly superseding all
;he old dye stuffs, while for family use they are incomparably superior, being so much more simple,
jrilliant, and economical.

In durability they are unexcelled by any known Dyes.

The phenomenal success of the Diamond Dies in America, Canada, and Australia lias induced tbe
Droprietors to introduce them in Great Britain.

These Dyes must not be confounded witb other articles purporting to be for the same uses. The Dyes
leretofore offered in tbe English markets are made of materials altogether inferior, and they possess but a
raction of the colouring power of the Diamond Dyes, and entirely lack their brilljancy, beauty of colour,
lurability and fastness. In simplicity of use, and ample instructions for all purposes, the Diamond Dtes
ire without a rival.

Dresses, Coats, Cloaks, Scarfs, Hoods, Yarn, Stockings, Carpet Rags, Ribbons, Feathers,

: any fabric or fancy article can be easily and surely coloured to any shade wanted. Each dye is complete
i itself, thereby saving all extra expense and trouble of bujiDg other articles to set tbe colour. All the
olours are so 8imp'e in their method of use that even a, child can be successful with them.

THE

DIAMOND DYES,

FOR MAKING INK.

From a package of Diamond Dyes a pint of the very best ink
in be made by simply dissolving in hot water. They are
etter than the Inks sold in small bottles and cost less than one-
jurth as much. Scholars, Book-keepers, Merchants,
amilies, and all Writers will find them valuable for Writing,
'opying, Ruling, Marking Goods, Cheeking, &c, &c,

Full directions given for making Writirg Ink, Copying Ink,
hading Ink, and Copygraph Ink,

For Colouring Easter Eggs, Feathers, Grasses, Mosses,
verlasting Flowers, &c, &c , the Diamond Dyes are the
at in the world.

ONLY SIXPENCE A PACKAGE,

DIAMOND GOLD PAINT.

Equal in quality and quantity to the 1 s. Gd. packages 0/ 'other makers.

For Gilding Fancy Baskets, Frames, ami every variety of Wood Work ;
Metallic Ornament', Crosse*, Emblems. Mottoes. Ho. ; Furniture and House-
hold Ornaments ; Kepairine Gold Frames, and all other Gilded Work.

There is scarcely a household ornament that is not grpatly improved by
a little tasteful gilding, and many fashionable decorations are more than
doubled in value by it.

There is no kind of ornamental work more fascinating to ladies than this,
and none more easily executed.

DIAMOND SILVER PAINT.

This can be employed to decorate all articles on which Gold is used, and
in some cases is more appropriate- -or the two are o'ten used together.

DIAMOND BRONZE PAINT.

This preparation may be used 10 decorate all articles on which Bronze
produces the most appropriate efftct. A coating of Diamond Bronze Paint
will cause a well made plaster figure to resemble a costly example iu solid
Bronze.

Chandeliers, Gas Fixtures, Lamps, and Ornament*, roay be made fully
equal to new, and at an insiguinciut co^. It is easily applied, and dries in
a few moments.

POPOLAR NON SECRET MEDICINES.

Under tbe title of Popular Non-Secret Medicines, we introduced, in 187C, a line of articles avowedly made to supplant patented and secret medicines.
The list comprises staple articles like Sarsaparilla. Condition Powders, Catuartie Pills, Liniments, Cough Syrups, Worm Medicines, &c, to simulate tne
forms and sizes of like popular patented goods ; to print the working formula on each package ; to make them in large quantities, at a saving in cost of
material aud labour ; to sell taeni to the retail trade of the United States ; to print each buyer's name and address on labels and wrappers in place of
oars; to sell them on a close margin of profit as manufacturers: to use good glass, velvet corks, excellent printing, elegant eDgtaved and tinted
wrappers ; to adapt the styles, size-, and prices to meet popular wants ; to furnish the retail druggist (who has few appliances himself) a mean* to drive
pateat medicines out of his sales ; to enable him to make the profits himself, which otherwise go into the pockets of patent- medicine manufacturers ; to
replace quack and scvt, rostrums by medicines of known composition and value.

Illustrated Priced Cttilogne and Order Blanks furnished on application of anv retail druggist in good rating.

Each Customer is protected from competition in his immediate neighbourhood.

This cut represents the
12-oz. size of

Compound Syrup of
Sarsaparilla with

in this preparation have
long been recognised by the
medical profession as the
most certain of alteratives
and depuratives. It is use-
ful in chronic affections of
t he skin, scrofula, sjphilis,
and all diseases arising from
impurities of the blood. It
contains Sarsaparilla, Senna,
Licorice, Iodide of Potas-

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

Very little attention i? generally paid by druggists to this class of goods, so that frequently (in fact it has become the ruU) pressers never or seldom
put their names on the packazes, and, as a result, a large proportion of these goods in the market are snort weight, old or inferior stock,
not true to name, or otherwise objectionable.

If you wish to avoid all these serious objections, and at the same time secure a much handsomer package, having on it all the common
or vulgar names, also the German and French names, the medicinal proper'ies, formulas for the infusion and dose of
the same, and also, in the case of Poisons, the antidote, you can easily do it by specifying our brand (A., W. & Co.) when ordering of your
jobber. In case inferior goods are substituted, we shall be pleased to receive your < rders dir3c&.

We believe it is only necessary to call the attention of the intelligent and thinking portion of the trade to these facts to secure a hearty support in
o_ur effort to supply superior goods at ordinary prices.

Our position aa large consumers of this class of goods in the manufacture of Fluid and Solid Extracts and Sugar-coated Pills enables us to secure the
best quality, gathered expressly for us, at the very lowest possible price, so that to secure better goods you do not have to pay more money, but simply
exercise a little care in ordering.

Our name is on every package. Accept no other as ours.
POISONS are put up in yellow paper, and in this class are
included all goods which, though not strictly poisons, should b3 dispensed
with caution, such as Tansy, Savin, Pennyroyal, &c. Roots and barks
coming under this class have a cautionary label of yellow paper pisted on
the front end. All other ounce packages are put in fine blue paper. The
adoption of these styles bv us, we trust, will reduce very materially the
chances for mistakes in dispensing.

CAUTION.— During the past year nearly every pressor of botanic
goods in this country has adopted our stylo of putting them up, under the
supposition that it is the wrapper which sells the goods. We are con-
vinced, however, that it is the superior quality of the goods furnished
which has given us the largest; trade by far now done by any one house,
and we trust that buyers will not be deceived by these external
imitations.

CATARRH. DIPHTHERIA & COLDS,

The attention of sufferers from Spasmodic Asthma is directed to the following
Extracts from some of the Press Memoirs of the late lamented

EARL OF BEACONSFIELD.

" An account states that the early hours of the morning had
always been the most trying to the patient, and after one o'clock the
difficulty of relieving the throat and chest became so great that
recourse was had to an expedient which Lord Beaconsrield had
before declared had given him the greatest relief, and a small
quantity of Himrod's Powder was burned in a saucer in such a
position that the fumes were inhaled bvthe 9u(rerer."— The "Daily
JVews," London, Wednesday, April 20th, 1881.

" The east winds, which have again set in, no doubt hastened the
end. It seems that for the asthmathic affection his lordship derived
the greatest comfort from Himrod's Powder, which was recom-
mended to him by Sir Philip Rose. He last inhaled it at one
o'clock this morning, and seemed to derive comfort from it. Nothing
could be more dignified than the manner in which the noble patient
bore his sufferings, and nothing more composed and tranquil than
his end."— The " Globe;" London, Tuesday, April 19th, 1881.

It is important to observe that Himrod's Cure was employed under
the highest medical sanction, for the " Globe'' (above

quoted) furthir states —
" . . . . Indeed, latterly, since his illness assumed a critical torn,
he had submitted himself to the guidance of his physicians and
friends, eating when he was more or less inclined to do so, and
obeying the medical directions. From the very first he has been
wonderfully patient and iu good spirits, although conscious he
could never recover, and . . . . "

" From the very first he has been wonderfully patient, and in
good spirits, although conscious he could never recover, whilst
awaiting his death with marked fortitude. It is understood he said
the only real relief he had during the paroxysms of his illness was
from an American remedy (Himrod's Powder), which was freely
administered during his illness, being the last medicine given
him."— The " Echo," Tuesday, April Idth, 1881.

The object of this Invention is to provide a New and Improved Machine for
facilitating the coating of pills, ther-by enabling the 11ets.il Chemist to coat
pills of his own make conveniently, economically, and expeditiously, and enjoy-
ing the satisfaction of knowing what a pill is made of, hy whom made, and whe =
made. Naturally the first question arising in the mind of the Retail Chemist
is : Will it pay me to make and coat my own pills ?

Any Chemist ta.l<iiur the trouble to compare the actual cost of pills not coated
with any price, list of (Jelatine, Coaled Pills in the market will he surprised a
the margin between the Iwo, and fully convinced that a machine enabling
him to pocket this MARGIN will 'oon pay for itself over and over again.

'•THE PORCUPINE ".is not a complicated machine, hut, easily understood,

VFFOSITORIES,

With Stoppers [Patent Turned). All made from Pure Butter of Cocoa

The object of this invention is to supply Druggists and Physicians with Hollow Suppositories, into which they can put Medicine oj
Nutriment, thus preparing them for use in a few minutes.

The rectum not only absorbs more rapidly than other mucous membranes, but it has considerable digestive power, so that some medicines act
more promptly via rectum than by the mouth. Life may be indefinitely suitained by means of concentrated foods introduced into the system through
this avenue. Physicians have, heretofore, been unable to employ, satisfactorily, this invaluable method of medication and nutrition, because of the
difficulty of obtaining suppositories that are evenly medicated.

If the medicine is lighter than the butter of cocoa, it rises to the surface, and most of it goes into the first moulds that are filled. If the medicine
is heavitr, as calomel, it sinks, and, not unfreqnently, most of it may be found in the last suppository that is poured, and thus some of them are hardly
medicated at all, while others may be dangerous because of the excess of medicine they contain : though the medication be even, the suppositories are
usually rough and crumbly and easily break in pieces ; or produce anal irritation when being inserted ; moreover, nutritive substances, as bee/
extract, etc., cannot be incorporated in the ordinary suppositories. The employment of our " Hollow SUPPOSITORIES " overcomes all these difficulties,
as the required quantity of medicine or nutriment can be put directly into each "Hollow Suppository" and sealed up, and then it is ready for
use. Medicines may be triturated in a mortar with a little butter of cocoa, or made into a mass and divided into equal parts and put in the " Hollo w
Suppositories. " or. if liquid, poured in. All fillings must be put in cold.

Our " Hollow SuprosiTOMES " are made of the various shapes and sizes required for the introduction of remedies into the open passages of
the body.

Exact sizes of our various Hollow Suppositories.

Size 0, is for children.
Nasal Passages. Nos. 1.

It p.lso may be used for the Ear. and in the
. 2, and 3 ar« P.eotal Suppositories. Nos. 3
and 4 may be used for introducing nutriment into the system, via rectum.
No. 4 is also a Vaginal Suppository. A and B are used for medicating
any part of the Urethra or Uterine Cavity or Nasal Passages,

Rectal Absorption.

" The mucous membrane of the rectum, like that of other portions ol
the alimentary canal, possesses all the requisites, more or less, for the
exercise of absorption."

Liebig states that a strong solution of common salt disappeared so com-
pletely in the rectum, that an evacuation one hour afterward was found
to contain no more than the usual portion of salt.

Many medicinal substances act mere energetically when applied to the
rectum than when received into the stomach.

Baron Dupuytren said : " The rectum absorbs, but does not digest, Tho
medicinal agent," he says, " owing to the absence of digestion, passes more
directly, more purely, and more surely to its destination, than the same
medicine does when taken into the stomach."

M. Orfila asserts that those medical agents which operata through the
medium of absorption, such as opium, tobacco, &c, are much more active
by the rectum than by the stomacn.

Dr. J. H. Scorff reports four cases where he was successful in removing
the vomitiog of pregnancy, by introducing 20 grains of chloral into the
rectum, night and morning. He only found it necessary to use the remedy
three or four times.

Chloral is the remedy par excellence, in the ravings of delirium tremens",
and in cases of delirium and insomnia combined ; also in infantile con-
vulsions and attacks of laryngismus stridulus.

Dr. Hickman reports a case of typho-malarial fever, which chloral was
found to control in a happy manner. The chloral was introduced per
rectum.

Till: STOMACH,'

" REST TO

says Mr. Theodore Williams [in the London Lancet, Oct. 24, 1874], "is of the highest importance in some of the diseases of this organ. In such cases,
we possess in the rectum an effective second stomach, which, if it does not afford us the pleasure of digestion, spares us many of its pains."

Nutritious substances are taken up by the absorbents, and thus soon find their way into the economy, and produce then- assimilative and nutritive
effect. Haller demonstrated the fact that digestion can and does take place in the alimentary canal. He had the greatest confidence in the absorptive
and digestive powers of the rectum to sustain life indefinitely.

JENSEN'S CRYSTAL PEPSIN

In Artificial Crystals. Perfectly Soluble in Water without Acid.

THIS PEPSIN, now so popular with the profession, has given an impetus to the consumption of this drug. Physicians
of the highest standing, who before the introduction of this active Pepsin, with good reason, entirely abandoned the use
of Pepsin, are now the most eager in prescribing JENSEN'S CRYSTAL PEPSIN, whenever it is indicated.

Three grains of this PEPSIN, which, according to its authoritatively tested strength, will
dissolve the hard-boiled white of six eggs, equal to the pure food of a hearty meal. Price,
$1 75c. per ounce.
Eds. Med. ^ Surg. Reporter : —

Jensen's Pepsin in Diphtheria.

Or. Edwin Rosenthal, acting on the suggestion of Dr. L. Wolff, has used an acidulated concentrated soluti on of Pepsin,
as an application to the membraues of diphtheritic patients, for which there seemed to be no other help than tracheotomy,
and reports that it acted like a charm, dissolving the membranes, admitting a free aeration of the blood, and placing them
soon on the road to convalescence. The solution he used was —

Dr. Jensen's Pepsin as a Solvent in Albuminous Obstruction of the Bladder.

Dr. Hollmann, [Nederl. Weehbl., 18, p. 272] reports the case of an old man aged 80, suffering from retention of urine,
in whom the introduction of a catheter failed to produce the desired result. It was found that the bladder contained
coagulated albuminoid masses mixed with blood. A few hours after the injection of about sixteen grains of Dr. Jensen's
Pepsin, dissolved in water, a large amount of a dark, viscid fetid fluid readily escaped by the catheter. — Land. Med.

JENSEN'S BEEF PEPTONE,

In Transparent Glassy Scales.

One ounce represents one pound of beef, less fat and a small portion of earthy matter, which precipitates after the
process of digestion is entirely completed, thus presenting a true and highly azotized nutrient in the most concentrated
form possible. This is the first Beef Peptone ever offered to the profession in a strictly completed and unmixed state,
and will stand the most severely scientific test as to perfectness. For rectal as well as oral administration it offers to
medicine a new agent by which to overcome asthenic inanition, and thus combat one of the worst features of acute as well
as chronic diseases.

but never refuse candy. They will, to the gratification of all interested, feed themselves with this sweet Peptone, and ask
for more. One ounce of this Peptone represents one-half pound of beef.

Both of these Peptones are put up in bottles holding one ounce, eight ounces, and one pound, retailed at 65 cents per

HARD RUBBER

UNIVERSALLY ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE THE MOST PERFECT ENEMAS MADE.

A PERFECT INSTRUMENT that can always be relied upon is the CHEAPEST.

With the DAVIDSON Syringes, absolute perfection in the purity of stock, and skill of construction,

are the objects aimed for, so that by their great durability they are much cheaper to use than any others.

WE COMPETE ON QUALITY ONLY,

The trade never have any bad stock of DAVIDSON Syringes, which is so often the case with the cheap, worthless
Syringes, such as rubber growiDg hard, pipes corrodiDg, valves useless, &c, &c, and during the 25 years that we have made
them, we do not recall a single complaint of their quality. The quality is specially desirable in countries where they
have not the means of repairing, or where the climate effects the cheap adulterated rubber goods.

We have recently added a patent improvement to the Syringe in making the metal on the suction end of
the tubing in the shape of a hook, so that the instrument can be huug up atter use, and all the fluid allowed to
train out, wnich adds greatly to the durability of the Instrument.

These goods are exported to England, Germany, France, Holland, South America, Mexico, East Indies, &c.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN RUBBER BANDAGES.

DAVIDSON'S

60 ZFUjIET

BANDAGES

LOFG.

DAVIOSOM RUBBER CO.

The advantages in these Bandage? will at once suggest themselves to Physicians and Druggists.

They are made 60 feet long in four widths (1£, 2, 2h, and 3 inches), so that any length or width desired
:an be cut off, and it relieves tlie Druggists from the" necessity of carrying in stock a line of Bandages of
various lengths.

Many objections are found with Bandages that are made with tapes on the end, as the tapes, being non-elastic,
)ind the limb so rigidly as to stop or impede the circulation.

With Davidson Bandages these objections are entirely removed, as they a'-e secured in place by using diaper or
afety pins, so that no part or the limb is bound by non-elastic material.

We give the following from the celebrated London Medical Journal, " THE LANCET," of March 25, 1882.

" DAVIDSON RUBBER CO. ELASTIC BANDAGE. — The Bandage seen by us is a very good article, pure, odourless,
miform, and with excellent smoothly-cnt edges. It is prepared in lengths of GO feet, from which any length can be
ut. With it are sold small ' safety ' pins for fastening the last, turn, as it is objected to the tape usually fastened on to
Martin's Bandages that it forms an j'/f-elastic constrictor of the part, and in this objection there is some force. It is
)robably sufficient to say that this Bandage fully maintains the high character fer rubber goods already won by this firm."

nourishing milk, which thoroughly satisfies the infant, prevents rickets,
promotes easy dentition, and lays the foundation of a strong, healthy
constitution. It also prevents debility in the mother whilst suckling, and
is a capital remedy for acidity, flatulence, indigestion, &c. If taken during

The introduction of this Preparation to the notice of the Profession for

Physicians and many patients to obtain an efficient Styptic at a moderate
price — Kuspini's celebrated Styptic being so costly.

P. C. Smyly, M.D., Sc.. Surgeon to the Mtath Hospital, writes :— "I find it of the
greatest use, in fact, in every instince was equal, if not superior, to Ruspini*s Styptic."

HIST.

Highly recommended in various forms of dyspepsia, having a direct action upon the mucous membrane of the stomach and
intestines as a sedative. It can be administered with marked and almost instantaneous effect in the irritative form of dyspepsia,
more especially when pyrosis is a conspicuous symptom, and pain occurs an hour or more after food. In simple neuralgic gastric
pain following eating, occurring in feeble subjects, it is especially indicated, and even in carcinoma it has been used with great
success in alleviating pain and vomiting.

In the dyspepsia of patients dependent upon some organic disease, and where there is a decided loss of nerve power, it ia
of singular service. Thus, for instance, a person after a meal complains of a peculiar gnawiDg and emptiness, with slight pain
at the epigastrium, evident signs of general relaxation and loss of nerve power, clinical experience has shown that it is of great
service as a tonic and stomachic. A portion of its value arises, it may be, from its action upon the spinal motor nerve-centres.
Be these things as they may, experience has abundantly demonstrated the value of the compound as a stomachic, anti dyspeptic,
and tonic, in general functional atony and relaxation, and in the various forms of dyspepsia, constipation, or diarrhesa, connected
with atony of the visceral muscular coat, the Mist. Pepsinse Co. c. Bismutho is a very valuable remedy. In the exhaus'ing
purging of Phthisis, accompanied with night sweats and restlessness, Dr. Mathews, of Nantwich, has used it with marked and
appreciable effect.

Price (in England) 10s. 6d. per pound.

" This combination of Messrs. Hewlett is one which has been extensively tested, and with good results. It 13 justly popular in the
profession as a very valuable and effective combination. It serves not only to improve apepsia. but to lessen the gastric pain and to
facilitate difficult and painful digestion, without setting up any evils of its own. It is a very good crutch tor persons 01 weak stomach

RELIEF FROM COUGH IN TEN MINUTES.

Is the most certain and SPEEDY REMEDY for all DISORDERS of the CHEST and
LUNGS. In Asthma and Consumption, Bronchitis, Coughs, Influenza, Difficulty of Breathing, Spitt.ng
Blood, Whooping Cough, Hoarseness, Loss of Voice, &c, this Balsam gives instantaneous relief, an t, if
properly persevered with, scarcely ever fails to effect a rapid cure. It has now been tried for many years,
has an established reputation, and many thousands have been benefited by its use.

IT HAS A MOST PLEASANT TASTE.
IMPORTANT TESTIMONIAL.— "AiirouT Firs, Andover, Mat 29, 1869. — Sir, I have
for some years had your Balsam of Horehound for Mrs. B. Webster, and intended writing to tell you how
much benefit she has derived. She was considered consumptive, but the Balsam has quite restored her,
and she is now quite strong. I have recommended you dozens of customers, and all have been pleased witn
\H . J'^**l£g > A it.— I am, yours, &c, H. B. WEBSTER. Mr. Hayman, Chemist.."

^SS}s — " ^E"t ' Horrox, Chemist, Mildenhall, writes to say : — '' One of my customers says your Balsam is worth

MARk — ~-^*/ eixpence a drop."

IN THE NURSERY it is invaluable, as children are fond of it and take it eagerly. Immediately it is taken coughing ceases, restlessness it
gone, and refreshing sleep ensues. No lady who has once tried it would ever afterwards be without it.

Prepared only by A. HAYMAN, Chemist, Neath ; and sold by all Chemists. Price U. \\d. and 2s. 9d. per Bottle.

Hie Proprietors respectfully request perusal of the following genuine Testimonials, heing a selection out of a verij

large number which are daily received : —

The Rev. A. ORLANDO CHERRINGTON. Vicar of Tividale, Tipton,
•writes, March 27, 1883.
Gentlemen,— Tour valuable preparation "Tikheel" has been effectual
in curing three cafes of Neuralgia in my parish, one of two years' standing,
in which extraction of teeth, Sic, had no effect, various other remedies had
been tried in vain ; another of a very excruciating nature; and my own,
win.'h baB been of frequent occurrence for some time.

From Mr. THOMAS CROSS.

The School, Poppleton, York.
Dear Pirs. — I have suffered a long time from Neuralgia, which periodi-
cally attacks a decayed tooth. Lately I have tried " Tikheel," which, after
the third dose, entirely removed the pain, and now at an interval of two
months I have only had one very slight attack. I have found local appli-
cations of no UFe whatever in the past, and remain, yours faithfully.
To Messrs. Bleasdale Si Co., Chemists, York. THOS. CROSS.

Tb« Editor of the " WHARFEDALE AND AIREDALE OBSERVER "
sends the following unsolicited : —
Gentlemen. — Your " Tikheel " is indeed a most remarkable medicine.
I am not one who places much faith in the efficacy of the numerous so-
called remedies for Neuralgia, and I was therefore not very sanguine of
getting relief from your " Tikheel," but having suffered severely for several
weeks paBt from Neuralgia, I was induced to make a trial of the medicine.
In a quarter of an hour after taking the first dose the excruciating pain
abated and I have had no return of it since. I am certain this medicine
only requires to be generally known in order to be widely used and appre-
ciated.

From Mr. Councillor RAWLING, York.

5 Swinegate, York, July 17, 1882.
Gentlemen, — I have great pleasure in giving testimony to tbe great
benefit to be derived from your •' Tikheel." I was very bad with Tic, but
a dose of "Tikheel" cured me in half-an-hour. I ennnot speak too highly
of it.— Yours truly, FRANCIS RAWLING (Town Councillor).

From Mr. CHAS. HAIGH, Skep Maker, Buresfield Road, Huddersfield.

Gentlemen.— My wife having been a very great sufferer for some time
from Tic and Neuralgia, and having tried a good many medicines without
receiving any benefit, was induced by Mr. Bygott, Chemist, to try a bottle
of " Tikheel." Strange to say, after taking three doses of the medicine she
was completely cured, ami has not had the least pain since.

You are at liberty to make any use of this testimonial you think proper,
ns I think every one should know there is such a certain and rapid cure for
Neuralgia.

From Mr. THOS. HORROCKS, Temperance Lecturer, Darwen.

10 Melita Terrace, Darwen, February 1, 1883.
Gentlemen, — My daughter has been troubled very much with Neuralgia
for the last six months, and having seen your advertisement in the paper,
I purchased a bottle of jour " Tikheel." I am glad to say the first dose
gave her immediate relief, and after taking one small bottle, she was com-
pletely cured, snd has not had an attack since.— Believe me. Gentlemen,
yours gratefully, THOS. HORROCKS, Temperance Lecturer,

Western Temperance League.

TESTIMOUIALS.

" Bdgbaston, May 4, 1877.— Sir,— My niece, who came to stay at my house, was suffering from Deafness and difficulty of breathing, owing to
weakness of the tonsils caused by Quinsy. She tried your wonderful ' Specific,' and after applying it a little more than a week her hearing and breathing
were quite restored. I am glad to communicate this as the medium of personal thanks and for the good of others, — Yours truly, 0. L."

*« Clapham, Sept. 6, 1877. — Sir,— Be so good as to send me six bottles of your ' Cure for Deafness,* and yon will oblige. I am much better. Shall I
go on with it ? Be so good as to let me know. It has done me more good than physicians to whom I have paid twenty guineas ; they cannot do me any
good. — Yours, 4jc, J. P."

» Crystal Palace Road, East Dtjlwich, Juki 10, 1878. — Sir,— During the last few weeks my little girl has been quite deaf, and suffering con.
Siderable pain in her left ear. I was recommended to use yonr ' Golden Drops for Deafness,' and I am delighted to say that, after applying them three
times, they brought away two large secretions of foul matter. The child can now hear distinctly the faintest sounds, and is free from pain. X send yon
this testimonial unasked, in the hope that its publication may increase the sale of your truly valuable ' Golden Drops.' — Yours respectfully, I. H. 3. N.B.
If you will send me some testimonial sheets I will distribute them amongst my friends."

Dr. J. OOLLIS BROWNE'S

THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY GENUINE.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS
From Lord Chancellor SELBORNE, Vice-chancellor Sir W. PAGE WOOD,
and the LORDS JUSTICES OF APPEAL.

VICE-CHANCELLOR SLR W. PAGE WOOD, by whom the suit in Chancery was first heard, stated in his judgment that
* Dr. J. Collis Browne was undoubtedly the Inventor of Chlorodyne, that the whole story of the Defendant Freeman was as
deliberately untrue as the falsehood he had deposed to with reference to the use of his Chlorodyne in the Hospital.'

The VICE-CHANCELLOR also stated, 'that Chlorodyne was a fanciful name, and had application been made sooner, the
Court would have given Dr. Browne protection.'

LORD CHANCELLOR SELBORNE coincided with the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor upon this point, and stated ' that
had application been made at a proper time and place, the Court would have found means to restrain the Defendant from misre-
presenting the decision of the Vice-Chancel lor.'

LORD JUSTICE JAMES, on appeal, stated in his judgment, ' that the Defendant Freeman had made a deliberate misrepre-
sentation of the decision of Vice-Chancellor Wood.'

It was proved in Court, on affidavit by Mrs. Forbes, of Paris, that the testimonial published in the Times, November 34tb,
1865, speaking of the great efficacy of Chlorodyne in Cholera, referred to Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne, and that she nevor
used any other, that 6he had written to the Defendant Freeman to that effect ; notwithstanding which notice the Defendant
publishes the said testimonial as referring to his medicine.

The Editor of the Medical Times, in his report on Chlorodyne, January 13th, 1866, gives information that the Chlorodyne
referred to was the medicine introduced by a retired Army Medical Officer, which was Dr. J. Collis Browne ; still this is published
by the Defendant as testimony to his medicine.

Numerous affidavits from eminent Physicians and others were produced in Court, stating that Dr. J. Colli6 Browne was the
inventor of Chlorodyne, and that when prescribing they mean no other.

The Defendant himself publishes that his compound is in effect and composition quite different to any other preparation ;
nevertheless he assumes the name, testimonials, &c, of Chlorodyne.

Technicalities in law prevent that protection which the public should justly have against such a course of conduct. It is now
incumbent on all who purchase Chlorodyne to see that the name, ' Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne,' is engraved on the
Government Stamp, as it is not sold otherwise. All other compounds under the name of Chlorodyne are spurious. All attempts
at analysis have failed; hence the statement that the constituents of Chlorodyne are known is a misrepresentation.

nUTRTWM, ANT>

FURTHER IMPORTANT NOTICE.

The subjoined list of eminent Firms concur with Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood's statement in
Court, that Dr. Collis Browne was undoubtedly the Inventor of Chlorodyne ; and that when Chlorodyne,
or the Original Chlorodyne, is ordered, they invariably supply Dr. J. Collis Browne's: —

After these public statements in a Court of Ek^uity, and subsequent confirmation by the trade at large, no Chemist can
conscientiously use or sell any other compound for Chlorodyne without committing a breach of faith, unjust to patient and physician.
The value of the remedy alone creates the great demand.

Retail, l id. each (18s. per

SUPPLIED TO ONE RETAIL CHEMIST OKLY IN EACH TOWN OR COUNTY

(through whom alone Chemists can order), who must engage in writing to supply none
but Chemists, and to charge known cutting Chemists a price at which they cannot cut.

The MANNA CAKE is done up only in quarter-gross cases, for home trade ; foreign, in bulk.

With each case (the smallest quantity supplied to Chemists) is enclosed a most effective
Window Slip (20 in. by 8 in.).

CONDITIONS OF AGENCY

(GKEAT BRITAIN AND IE ELAND).

Perpetual Sole Agency guaranteed. No exc'usively Wholesale House
is, or will be, supplied. 2.-1,000 Handbills, containing Trade Mark, are
sent with each gross ordered, and 2s. per gross deducted from account,
which Agent must expend in best local newspapers. 3.— Agent to take at
his own risk quantities a3 here given, viz. :— In Great Britain— one gross
for every -1,000 population ; In Ireland— one gross for every 6,000 popula-
tion, of tte town or district for which he accepts. 4.— Terms Cash, or two
reputed Referees— discount as above.

N.B.— In the case of acceptances for counties, the whole quantity con-
tracted for is sent in consignments running over two years. The discount
allowed is 25 per cent, off cash against the several consignments, and beyond
this 2*. per gross is deducted, which sum the Agent must engage to enter
in the best newspaper media. Cas's of Trade Mark sent when required for
newspapers. Agents charge to chemists, 13s. per gross net. The 25 per
cent, is allowed only off contracts for counties. From November 1, 1882,
to June 30, 1883. the orders amounted to 2,120 gross Instead of taking
the allowance for newspapers (2s. per gross) Agents can have double the
number of handbills, if they choose— the latter are certainly more effective.
Chemists contracting for a county (or counties) supply all chemists within
that border, and they nloce.

TO COLONIAL AND FOREIGN HOUSES

Monopolies are offered on terms enabling them to force the
sale in any way they think best. Terms 6,- per gross, free
alongside ship, less 2j per cent, for cash against shipping docu-
ments. No printed matter is included in this, the consignee
issuing such matter as he thinks best for his mompoly, the
large margin of 12/- per gross being allowed for this and retail
profits. These contracts are made on thi basis of one gross
for every 8,000 population, and the interests of consignor and
consignees will be enhanced by the contracts covering as large
districts as can conveniently be managed. In these cases the
whole quantity contracted for should be taken out within three
years, and consignees must guarantee in writing not to supply
the home trade through any source. Applicants for these must
state the boundaries of monopoly sought, and its population,
which will be compared with printed statistics. Should these
boundaries infringe on existing monopolies, the fact will be
pointed out, and arrangements made accordingly.

EXTRACTS FROM AGENTS' LETTERS.

" A Physician in the West of England says he gave Calomel and Jalap in
repeated duses without effect, but a Manna Cake acted almost imme-
diately.

" The above is a bond-fide statement, but I am not authorised to give
name and address.
" The article is selling freely."

W. H. HAYWAED, Chemist, Trowbridge, Wilts.

" This move of yours is in the right direction. The sooner Chemists bestir
themselves to foil the ' cutting ' system, the better for them and for Pro-
prietors."

JOHN BIRKETT, Chemist, Morecambe.

" It is one of our best preparations."

HENRY BECK, Chemist, Albrighton, Salop.

" It is singularly mild and efficacious. I certainly consider it a splendid
substitute lor Castor Oil."

A. CHRISTIE, Chemist, Newton-Abbot, Devon.

" Such a system of agencies is a veritable ally to the C. and D. Trade
Association, and it is to De hoped that other manufacturers will follow the
example."

H. HALSTEAD, Chemist, Rawtenstall.

" As the Manva Cake I had on trial (three gross) is jnst sold out I will
thank you t> send me on at the earliest moment 22 gross of the contract
quantity (220 gross). It is an excellent mehcine. A lady customer told
me recently it was the best she has used for the purpose."

JOHN BLAIR, Chemist, Cork.

"The Manna Cake should, in my opinion, have a place in the next
ed'tion ' f th* Pharmacopoeia. It will make its way on its own merits.
Rigollnt's 'Cloth' and the Manna Cake maybe considered legitimate
weapons of domestic medicine."

Extract from letter from Dr. MARSH, 41 Horton Lane, Bradford.

Dr. McCANN, Orcherd-hey, Liverpool, sent the following letter:—
" Dec. 22, 1880.— The aperient action of the Manna Cake is decidedly good.
Mildly energetic, free from griping, and to be depended on when a mild but
certain aperient is needed. It is, also, an effectual Worm Cake. Being
pleasant to the taste (it is mainly sugar), its easy administration very
strongly recommends its use, especially in lever cases, where all excitement
should be avoided."

Another gentleman writes :— "The Manna Cake is, in point of certainty
of operation and mildness, the most extraordinary purgative I ever met
with. Coupled with pleasure in the takiDg of it, is the sufficiently copious
relief, without inconvenience at the time or bad effects afterwards. I
should think it a boon to invalids, and for children the very thing so long
needed."

Manna Cakr. — JAMES SAVAGE, Bradford, writes July 12:— "Just
received second fifty grrss of contract. Five hundrtd gro.s for county
sells well, and antwers admirably."

About 340 Town Agents are now appointed.

N.B.—lf at any time an Agent can prove that the conditions herein-named have been violated, he is entitled to return any

goods on hand, and to demand payment for them.

A WONDERFUL MEDICINE I

Between thirty and forty years ago a Medicine was introduced to the public, and suffering
humanity was invited to try the same.

The Proprietor knew from experience that success was certain, but the human breast is bo
imbued with prejudice, that it forms one of the strongest barriers to break down and the greatest
enemy to overcome before any headway can be made towards the mansion of success. Trutb ha>
often proved itself to be " stranger than fiction," and it is a fact as solid as truth that

BEECHAM'S PILLS

have now become one of the leading Patent Medicines of the present day. From north to south,
and from east to west, they are to be found in the homes of the rich and the poor. All classes of
society use them, and they are by thousands declared to be

WORTH A GUINEA A BOX.

For a Weak Stomach, Impaired Digestion, and all Disorders of the Liver,
they act like " MAGIC," and a few doses will be found to work wonders on the
most important organs in the human machine. They strengthen the whole
muscular system, restore the long-lost complexion, bring back the keen edge
of appetite, and arouse into action, with the ROSE-BUD of health, the whole
physical energy of the human frame. These are "FACTS" admitted by
thousands, embracing all classes of Society, and one of the best guarantees to
the Nervous and Debilitated is, BEECHAM'S PILLS have the LARGEST
SALE of any Patent Medicine in England.

In South Africa BEECHAM'S PILLS have the largest sale of any Patent
Medicine ever introduced into that part of the World.

All Patent Medicine Dealers abroad will find BEECHAM'S FILLS one of the most profitable
and one of the best selling articles in the Market. The demand for them is regular, and all Foreign
Houses who are desirous of getting a First-class Patent Medicine are respectfully requested to
get BEECHAM'S PILLS from the leading Wholesale Houses in England (as no business will be
done with any Foreign House by the Proprietor direct).

CAUTION.-The Public aire requested to notice that the words
** BEECHAM'S PILLS, ST. HELENS," are on the Government
Stamp affixed to each Box of the IPills ; if not on, they are a Forgery.

ORIGINAL AND ONLY GENUINE

HOMOEOPATHIC ABSORBENT WAFERS

(EEG-ISTEEED),
For administering Tinctures of all Dilutions without the inconvenience of Dropping or the necessity of Water.

MESSRS. CONYNGHAM & CO. are convinced many Homoeopaths would prefer the usp of Tinctures to Pilules, were it not
lor the inconvenience experienced in dropping them, and the necessity of water for the administration of each dose ; conse-
jteatly they have introduced these ABSOEBENT WAPEES as a successful mode of meeting this difficulty.

These Wafers are so prepared that, when placed over the mouth of the bottle (which is carefully tilted), they absorb the
i sjal dose. The Wafer is then immediately placed upon the tongue to dissolve like an ordinary Pilule; thus at once dispensing
with the trouble of dropping and the use of water.

"Very useful for business people. We wish the Wafers all success." — Homoeopathic World.
" The Wafers will be found very popular, as they add considerably to the convenience of administration." — Chemist and Druggist.

SHEEP DIPPING POWDER

Is soluble in Cold Water, and should be used in
« preference to any other Dip,

FOR TICKS, FLY, SCAB, AND FOR ALL OTHER
SHEEP DIPPING PURPOSES.

This Dip has been in use for Forty Years, and has never
been equalled by any other ; it is of uniform strength, does not
stain the wool, is suitable for all climates, and is equally good
as a Summer or Winter Dip. It is especially recommended
for Dipping Lambs, and as a certain Cure for Scab.

It supersedes all Carbolic and other Liquid Dips, being so
much more reliable and lasting in its effects.

"To cleanse the whole tling (Maignen's Patent ' Filtre Rapide ') all that
is required is to wa-h off the old filtering medium and deposit a fresh supply
on the asbestos cloth, an operation very easily accompl:shet in a few
minutes, and one which can be done without the trouble and expense of
returning the filter to the maker." — Tlie Engineer, June 22, 1883.

N.B. — Cholera, Typhoid Fever, Diphtheria, and other epi-
demic diseases are spread by specific germs which enter lhe
body with the air we breathe and the v ater we drink. In air
these germs are dry. and, like the dry grain of wheat, li'ele>.s,
but in water they are already wetted and ready to develop into
perfect organisms when taken into the human system. Maignen's
Patent " Filtre Eapide" is guaranteed to remove from water
even the smallest of these germs.

THE ONLY 1PERFECT EIVElVtA OBTAINABLE.

ENEMA A

HIG6INS0N

TRIN6E APPARATUS

(BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT).

Made without Seams or Ribs by our Patent Process of dipping in a solution of India
Rubber, thus adding great strength and durability.

WARRANTED NOT TO SPLIT. A.-Metal Pin Valve.

INGRAM'S IMPROVED PATENT SEAMLESS ENEMA is perfectly smooth on the surface, will
not become hard or sticky, will not leak, and will not admit air while injecting or refilling. Specially prepared to
resist the heat of tropical countries.

The great superiority of INGRAM'S IMPROVED PATENT SEAMLESS ENEMA over all others
has given rise to various imitations, and it has become imperative that the Patentees should, in order to prevent
deception, explain the frocess of manufacture of their enema and the mode of manufacture of imitations
thereof, as they have undeniable proof that inferior enemas are positively being sold as their ' ' advertised "
patent seamless enema.

INGRAM'S IMPROVED PATENT SEAMLESS ENEMA is made by a new patent process,
viz. : By repeated dipping in a solution of India Rubber until the required substance is attained. This process adds
greatly to its strength and durability, and, at the same time, dispenses with all seams, which, as is well known,
are weak points in an Enema. This improved mode of manufacture (the result of long study and experience)
enables the Patentees to produce a perfect enema without seams, thus overcoming the great fault to be found in
all other Enemas, viz. : Splitting and leaking, which has always been a source of trouble.

INGRAM'S IMPROVED PATENT SEAMLESS ENEMA is fitted with improved valves, which
prevent the admission of air with the fluid and can at any time be repaired, if necessary.

<OJ3l"U"TSOI^3"«— Imitations of INGRAM'S IMPROVED PATENT SEAMLESS
ENEMA are made of several pieces of Sheet India Rubber, which are cemented together and shaped in
a mould, thus producing ribs on the surface, and enemas so manufactured are adways liable to split and

LEAK AT THE SEAMS, AND THUS TO BECOME QUITE USELESS.

INGRAM'S IMPROVED PATENT SEAMLESS ENEMA may be distinguished from all
imitations by its entire freedom from ribs of any description on its surface, and by having an IMPROVED METAL
pin valve at the suction end A ; and it is acknowledged to be the only perfect enema obtainable.

Patented in England, No. 1474, April 12, 1878; in France, No. 126,909, October 11, 1878; and

in America, No. 212,939, Marcn 4, 1879.

To be obtained of all Surgical Instrument Makers, Druggists' Sundriesmen, Chemists and Druggists, in

From the Lancet, Dec. 22nd, 1866: — "In our hands it has been a most effective agent in fkin diseases, especially of the
chronic eczematous class; and one case psoriasis, which had resisted all other kinds of treatment, speedily got well under the
application of the Liquor Carbonis Detergens. We esteem it a very valuable addition to our list of skin remedies."
